   Not a problem, undo the Paul Ryan and Bush Tax Cuts. Deficit goes away. My 2017 tax bill was $51,200. In 2018 based on the tax changes my taxes were $35,996. A nice gift, but the extra $15k was not a hardship because I believe in what Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said.

   As President Jeb Bush will tell you, polls this early before an election have zero predictive power. Even so, I devoutly hope Joe will withdraw from running, although I consider it unlikely. Joe would easily beat Trump, but so would any other Democrat with a pulse.

   “The swarm of America includes the vast class of illiterates. What they are interested in is drama. The thing must be presented to them as a form of simple combat, with one side clearly right and the other clearly wrong. No one in this world has ever lost public office by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.”

    As demonstrated both here and in Europe, the reasons for the success of the far right is hitting the less educated and the elderly on fear of outsiders and change in general. We’re also slowly seeing a backlash against this thinking in at least some countries as the citizens recognize the harm far right policies do. My fear is in the U.S. we won’t react until the “Freedom Caucus” and their ilk have done irreparable damage – like Brexit did to Britain.
