The tax scam giveaway to corporations and the rich will add 1.5 trillion dollars or more to the debt. I say it may add more because Repugs are counting on 4% GDP or higher to help pay for the tax cuts and that isn't happening.

Right away Repugs are pushing to gash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to pay for these tax cuts for the rich. It's amazing how working folks continue to vote against their own best interests.
