A Xmas Card from the GOP

In December 2017, the Republican Party finally got its "win" with the passage of their tax overhaul bill. But, at what cost? The tax cuts they've enacted will mostly benefit corporations and the rich.

Most importantly, these cuts will add over $1 trillion to our deficit. So, it will be our children and our children's children who will pay for all of this. Historically, deficit reduction was always central to the GOP's platform. In part, their insistence on reducing the debt during the Obama Administration was responsible for taking back the House and Senate in the 2010 midterm elections. But, no more. In power, both in the legislative and executive branches, they've gone on a spending spree. And now that the tax cuts have passed, Republicans are saying they will have to cut programs, like Medicare, in order to pay for these cuts. The poor and middle class will suffer.

Merry Christmas, Republicans. Thanks a trillion.
