    That’s right Lisa; the GOP has given themselves a huge tax cut.

    Lisa, you can bake that turd into a pie, you can put frosting on it, you can rub your tummy and make yummy faces while you eat it, but it’s still a turd. A temporary tax cut which blows our deficit out beyond the sun is no reason to vote GOP in November.

    You forgot to show the elephant carrying the social security and medicare cuts those tax cuts come with on the side.

    And the Republicans only had to borrow a trillion and a half dollars to pay for their tax cuts for rich people.

    For the math challenged, that is not sustainable, and in fact is insane.

    Republicans steal all the money for human services and infrastructure and gave it to their rich friends and then they tell you there is no money for Social Security and Medicare.

    If you are tired of being robbed, stop voting for Republicans.

    So, the Republicans baked a pie, with ingredients purchased by borrowing money from their own and Democrats’ children. The Republicans get the pie, and the Democrats get crumbs. This is a very good portrayal of the situation, in my humble opinion.

    How proud the Elephant looks. I wonder how he’ll look when his supporters realize that only a few of the Republicans get almost all of the pie, and they are getting crumbs, like their Democratic siblings and cousins.

    What will the Elephant look like when the bill for the pie comes due? It will be remembered who got the pie, while the rest of us got crumbs.

    Look at that huge pie that is all for the rich. The Democrats are still trying to collect as many crumbs as they can for the poor. The Republicans have taken away their healthcare and given them assault rifles.

    Read Steven King’s “Thinner”. You will gain a greater appreciation of how pies are actually made and used.

    As it should be: the Republican investor class gets the pie and the working class Democrats get a few crumbs. And the glorious thing about this is that the working class will again vote Republican to keep things this way.

    Let’s see: the tax cuts and deregulation by Ronald Reagan was followed by the worst recession since the GOP’s Great Depression until the tax cuts and deregulation of George W. Bush gave us the worse Great Recession.

    Every Republican administration since WWI has presided over a recession, some more than one, or the Great Depression that followed the depression of 1920-21. John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson didn’t have a recession; Bill Clinton didn’t have a recession, Barack Obama didn’t have a recession. See a pattern here, Lisa and other right-wingers?

    As expected, Ms. Benson ignores that the tax cuts disproportionately benefited the Rich and Big Business while adding to the deficit! [ Benson is a true believer in “Government of, by, and for the Rich!” ]

    And Pelosi just cares about her crumbs which they are not a thousand dollars is a lot to a person. All she made about is that she could not pass a Tax reform bill while she the Speaker of the House.

    So you’re saying that the greedy GOP pigs are going to be rewarded for their greed? I sure hope not. Then again, we don’t have a good track record of learning just how much Republican politics hurts.

    It’s our money you knuckleheads not the governments. Oh my God, the founding fathers would be embarrassed how this country has turned out. This is exactly what they were afraid would happen. The leviathan that our government has turned into probably couldn’t have been imagined by them.

    ^ And yet you Conservatives constantly cry for a Hobbsian Leviathan that will control all of America’s bad guys including women, children, minorities, Liberals. Muslims, and atheists. You wanna get your story straight: are you for it or against it?

    You can do whatever you want as long it doesn’t hurt anyone else. Do drugs, have sex with whoever you want, pray or don’t pray to whoever you want just don’t force me to subsidize it or hurt anyone else in the process. Simple enough? Just curious, how are those categories of people being controlled?

    ^ Are you then totally unaware of social pressures to limit Muslim immigration, deny women the right to regulate their own reproductive systems, to denigrate Florida kids who speak against guns, attack liberal universities, remove atheists from the public sphere……

    Muslims as a group have disproportionally higher rates of terrorists than any other religion so yes they should be looked at very closely when making the decision to let them into this county. Women’s reproduction is up to them, again as long as they don’t hurt someone else. Yes, a fetus qualifies as someone else. Just because those Florida kids were under attack doesn’t make them immune from having their views challenged if someone thinks they are wrong. And yes, freedom of speech does apply to challenging universities. Just because they are educated doesn’t make them smart.

    In the last 6 months, the National Debt has risen $1Trillion. I wonder how fast it will rise in the next 6 months now that there’s even more lack of revenue from the tax cut to pay the interest! That pie shell is empty, it won’t crush you. The children you are making pay for your idiocy however, are making plans to crush you.

    nsfh12, my point exactly. And now you need the Leviathan to enforce all your “personal” viewpoints.
