8. Trump's tax plan is a one page, double spaced list of bullet points.

That's it, a ruse that someone spent maybe 15 minutes to type out. The White House says it will fill in the important details later, and Trump is pushing dubious claims that shift and change with each telling.






There's no offsets to pay for Trump's massive tax cuts, and Republicans are singing the usual magical claims that their big cuts would pay for themselves by generating mystical economic growth. BS

Trump's tax cuts are DOA. Congressional Republicans are still arguing about raising the federal debt ceiling to pay our bills. Republicans in Congress are bickering about how to come up with money for the budget. But the biggest money pit is going to be the unknown billions (trillion?) that will be needed to recover from the multi state damages from Harvey.

The optics of Republican politicians voting for tax cuts for the richest of the rich while millions of Americans are reduced to living in sweltering third world refugee camps will not get them votes.
