First that the tax plan is so blatantly tilted toward the GOP donor base. They make no attempt to hide it other than repeating the mantra (lie) that "this is a middle-class tax bill" but even a cursory look at the provisions of the bill strip that facade off of the bill.

Second...they are in one hell of a hurry to get this done. There is a seismic wave of some sort coming and they want their "goodies" ordained by their congress NOW! They must think that their theft from the treasury is irreversible and cast in stone, not subject to change by anything that happens afterwards and this is what bothers me.

The seismic wave, I suppose, could be the sweeping from office of anybody with an "R" behind their name but that would mean that a Democratic Party majority could undo all or most of the damage they are doing. Their haste (in that context) doesn't make sense.

I fear there is something more dastardly that they fear....like economic collapse of the American economy? Or maybe they are afraid the President* might actually start a nuclear war and they need to squirrel money away in international safe havens..

Okay

I'm getting paranoid but in these days, who isn't!!!

If they can create enough of a disaster by using tax cuts for the rich and unlimited military spending, we will hear "we have no choice but to eliminate all of this needless social security, etc.". I really do think they are intentionally destroying the economy to bring on massive austerity measures.

All bullshit

Fiscal responsibility to them means being responsible for taking wealth from those that have little and shoveling it to those that have too much.
