Gotta be some drama.

Well if they don't want more money in their pocket I'll take their share.

Waiting with bated breath for one or more senators to back out at the last second. Not worried about the House vote.

[Bill the Cat]

It passed the House. On to the Senate.

The Senate found issues. Re-vote in the House tomorrow.

Interesting.

The Republicans are masters at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

They're only doing it to pull your chain.

It's working.

It seems that three provisions in the House bill did not follow certain rules, so they're stripping them out and voting again. Not a big deal.

More like Bernie Sanders talking points.

The key to getting businesses to hire and invest is to swamp them with demand for their products by raising the incomes of the poor and the middle class and not those at the very top of the income distribution. So you need very large numbers at the bottom of the income scale with more spending power not cuts in corporation tax which is just going to lead to future debt and increased wealth for very few - and a booming stock market because that's where the money goes because the rich already have everything they need.

Lower income people will not pay taxes and those a little higher up that do will see a 19-22% reduction. A booming stock market helps out most Americans since almost anyone that has a retirement plan owns stocks.
