Just this one time we need to do exactly what Trump says.

And that means that everyone, including the media, should refer to the tax bill as the "Cut Cut Cut Tax Bill."

Because a ridiculous tax bill deserves an equally ridiculous name.

And it was Donald Trump's brain that gave it that name.

It deserves the name.

it's a selected tax cut for corporations, the wealthy (estate, pass thru, etc).

The upper middle class (especially in blue states) are about to get socked, hard.

And the poor and lower middle class will see almost nothing back.

And the debt will explode OR they will come back and tell us that government programs and regulations "have to go" or we face default.
