And his desire for new ships and nukes, much less a wall?

American government at its best, tax reform to benefit the rich,.

How am I supposed to pay for that? Tax increases and slashed benefits for the 99%. Republicanism at its finest.

I could cut the expenditures and increase the income while still improving health care and education. Just slash military spending and increase taxes on those supposed “job creators” who keep cutting jobs and getting big bonuses for doing it. Won’t happen because there are too many who are too powerful and are looking out for themselves (rather than the whole country).

It’s easy, you just make the debt bigger. Thanks Republicans!

If that lady’s a Republican, she wouldn’t think twice before adding it to her shopping cart.

I’m sure we can cut enough programs for children and the poor. The elderly and minorities can go without for the rich people like Trump can get their extra money.

Regardless of part affiliation, my philosophy has always been the same. Vote for every tax cut, vote against any tax increase, no exceptions. Knowing the capabilities to spend every dime existing or imaginary, I feel this is the only possible way to cut down on big government.

It’s worth remembering that from the day Reagan was inaugurated to the day Obama was inaugurated, every dime added to the national debt was added under Republican administrations.

Republican congress, remember?

All those pork products in that lady’s basket, the Republicans seem to think that those are anything that has to do with the health, welfare, infrastructure, education, prevention, preparation for disaster, preservation, conservation of resources. The Republicans in office don’t believe it’s what they are spending on their interminable investigations into Hillary, their interminable efforts to repeal ACA, their interminable efforts to cut taxes for the rich while penalizing hard-working Americans and rescinding any kind of tax cut for homeowners. They have so many oversight committees that do nothing except twiddle their thumbs and it’s taxpayers who pay for those committees, what a waste!

Congress is asking how to pay for tax cuts for the rich?

The answer is always by defunding Planned Parenthood.

And Medicare.

And Medicaid.

They’ll leave Social Security alone until next year.

And they defunded Meals on Wheels so Trump could golf 75 times at $3 million a pop.

If we’re gonna get some tax cuts, get the kind the whole family can enjoy. Not just the kind Donnie and his little friends like.
