Exactly correct

Beside the fact that this so-called "tax reform" bill isn't that at all, but rather a social engineering bill, given the provisions that allow special deductions for airplane owners, fetal credit accounts, and open political activism for churches (and who knows what else, since no one can read the damn thing) it is like cutting the brake line on a car going 100 mph. The inevitable crash totals the car.

Yes, thank you djacq

Your post came up while I was composing mine, (trying to find suitable economic metaphors is tough) all of your points are absolutely the foundation of Republican voodoo economics that inevitably led to all previous economic disasters. This is just doing something for the sake of doing it, it's completely unnecessary, like elective surgery. Please doctor, my heart is healthy but give me a coronary bypass because you need to make money.

No sane economist fucks with an economy that's already working.

The next recession will make the last one look like an economic miracle

This is like switching the NO2 on when you're already going 200 mph. You go faster for a while, then the engine blows up. Stupid economics.

One potato, two potato, three potato Moore

The "logic" soon will be that because the charges of sexual misconduct/harassment have become so prevalent, it doesn't matter that Moore did anything, because "everybody" does it.

As Initech posted on 11/28 at 7:54 pm (Here's the Thing About Roy Moore That They're Not Telling You) this exercise is indeed about Christian Dominionism, control of the judiciary and complete conversion of the United States to a theocracy. I have noticed that many here comment to the effect that they have heard nothing of this, so I offer the following quote from George Grant, of Coral Ridge Ministries:

"World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the gospel. And we must never settle for anything less. Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land - of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. It is to reinstitute the authority of God's Word as supreme over all judgments, over all legislation, over all declarations, constitutions, and confederations. Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ - to have dominion in the civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness. But it is dominion that we are after. Not just a voice. It is dominion we are after. Not just influence. It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time. It is dominion we are after.

Inflation is the result of tax cuts in a full-employment

consumer-confident economy, which in turn causes the FED to restrict the supply of money. Interest rates go up, and soon you have another recession.

I'm so tired of this crap, there is nothing surprising about this at all

for anyone who's been paying attention. This piece of shit is right in your face for over a year, telling you exactly how he is going to fuck us all. If you continue to be incredulous, you deserve what you get.

donald trump

I would spit in his face and gladly take the consequences.

Fuck you, donald trump, come get me motherfucker.

thank you

How many times do I have to post this

Okay, apparently this needs to be posted again, because I continue to see comments by what I consider to be intelligent, well-read DU'ers that are borderline idiocy and almost criminally naive. You are either willfully obtuse or in a state of suspended disbelief. After today's vile and malodorous tweets, and all that has gone before, many here still are willing to ascribe human behavior to this bloodsucking cockroach, writing that you don't understand why or how this pile of rotten filth could sink so low, or how can he go any lower, or some other such nonsense. I have followed this malignant pus-bucket since he fucked myself and my friends in Atlantic City with his money-laundering bankrupt casinos. He fucks everyone. That's what he does. That's ALL he does.

1) There is nothing and no one that this asshole cares about EXCEPT HIMSELF.

2) What he wants is REVENGE on the whole world.

3) There is NOTHING this sack of shit will not do to hurt people. NOTHING. Get that through your heads.

For those of you who continue to wonder why his mindless followers follow no matter what, go here:
