TMR: Paul Ryan is about to trickle down on America



Tax cuts absolutely kill economies. After Ronald Reagan's first big tax cut in 1981 the country was plunged into recession. He had to quickly raise taxes again to get the economy going just to keep things afloat. Paul Ryan is threatening to do that again. But do you think they will actually have the conscience to reverse course when it's obviously a disaster?

He knows he and his so called Rethug Party got cought with the fake Health Care Tax give away,and now he wants to tell everybody he switched sides.

I guess those who watch Fake News for their info will praise his actions,but we know from his past,it more of his bullcrap lies.

describes Ryan to a "T", or to that little hair-pointy-thing on his forehead.

He knows damn well Reagan's trickle down doesn't work. They've tried it for nearly 40 years and the results are always disastrous — the economy crashes, most recently in Brownback's Kansas trickle down lab experiment.

He knows what's going to happen but he's like a pit bull, you can't get him to let go because he promised his client donors — hid bosses — a big payout.

We're in for it. It happens every time the repugs get in. They introduce their rich-favoring policies and the economy crashes down around everyone else — W Bush, Daddy Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Hoover, even Ike had his recessions.
