I didn't need experts to know that. In fact, Trump told me that when he called it the biggest tax cut ever.

Reagan's tax cuts didn't pay for themselves with economic growth. Bush II's tax cuts didn't pay for themselves with economic growth. Only an idiot would expect third time lucky with even bigger tax cuts.

Trump won't pull out of NAFTA, but wants to renegotiate it: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-t ... SKBN17S2DG

do you suppose someone talked to him about how our agriculture sector has made out very well under nafta and how those states tend to vote republican?

Federal reserve may seriously ratchet up interest rates if tax cuts go through in order to curtail inflation: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-f ... SKBN17S2X1

Obviously, this would present a serious roadblock to any expected economic growth.

The more wealth goes untaxed at the top, the more will trickle down. It's science. If tax cuts haven't worked before, obviously it's because they just weren't big enough.

Few million spent on running for president for a pay off of millions every year for the rest of his life. Art of the deal, yo. And that's before we consider the rent he charged his own campaign for using his own building, the rent he's charging the Secret Service to protect his wife and son in his building, the money he's making bringing dignitaries to his resort in Florida, etc, etc, etc.

last night Rachel had an interesting discussion of the trumps and their problems with the corrupt practices act? jared Kushner has been doing business with an international company that is in US court right now for bribery. it turns out that we have this thing called "the foreign corrupt practices act" that makes it a crime in this country to do business with bad actors in other countries. ivanka (and the rest of the trumps) had dealings in Azerbaijan with a family linked to support of the Iranian revolutionary guard.

Wonder how many Trump voters unironically bitched about Clinton's supposed corruption and are now imploding their heads trying to rationalize and excuse all this...
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
