WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he will propose new tax cuts sometime prior to November, when Republicans look to hold on to their majorities in Congress in midterm elections.

Trump said he would meet with Republican Representative Kevin Brady, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, about the proposal. He did not give any details.

Hopefully by then his supporters have calculated how much the first rund saved them. Food prices, Gas at 3.25, etc etc .

Brownstein made promises to win reelection, then Kansas really went into the shitter during his next term. Our counter should be to remind voters of what falling for promises in Kansas and Oklahoma got those states.

Vote for me, and get a ONE TIME only tax rebate of $86 or some such thing. Can't remember details, but it worked.
