There is absolutely ZERO evidence this will increase revenues. Just because people [politicians and lobbyists] have said that doesn't make it true.

Speaking of who has claimed this tax bill isn't a completely idiotic way to boost the economy, the "137 economists" list was an utter fraud.

Another signatory to the RATE letter, Seth Bied, is not an economist. He is a low-level office assistant at the New York State Tax Department, whose spokesperson said Bied does not remember signing the economists’ letter.

97% agree this will boost the economy. Denier.

Just irrational rage at this point. Sad.

So I'm watching CSPAN right now as they go through the theater of these last amendments. It is incredibly boring except for Ron Wyden from Oregon. Have you guys ever heard him speak before? I hadn't until tonight. The man sounds and looks, and I am not exaggerating, like he is mentally Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Go find any YouTube video.

One more observation: all the college students working as senate aides have to sit on the lowest step of the podium about 10" off the floor, like they're in kindergarten. Can't find any folding chairs for them? Bizarre.

So it's closer to 7 large under the Senate plan, per year, unless the newly re-inserted AMT bites me. Haven't seen the details on that yet. Might be in one of those hand-revised pages above the Dems are sobbing over. Kids are gonna be great if we can keep socialism in check. But thanks for your concern.

Oh, and invoking people's kids is a huge dickwad move, btw. Get mumped.

We'll have plenty of time to know what's in it during reconciliation.

KSUW, I don't know you other than your representation that you make a lot of money, but if this tax bill will save you $7k+ per year in taxes, you are doing something seriously wrong.

Seriously, turn on CSPAN2 and tell me I'm wrong about the aides.

And Wyden, if you're lucky you'll catch him speaking again - he seems to the be the designated guy for the Dems to object to the GOP's amendments. I swear you can practically see a little drool dripping down his chin as he speaks. US Senator Ron Wyden (D) of Oregon.

ZOMG Pence just hit the floor to break a 50/50 tie break to vote in favor of a Cruz amendment expanding 529 usage for K-12 spending. The intrigue!

Next Tim Kaine says he wants to drop AMT back down to current levels. Which I guess means the current plan shoved the AMT to a much higher threshold! :woot:

Oh look, another Dem proposed amendment gets shown down on party lines. :zzz: Seriously how much more of this is Myrtle going to allow?

I'm amazed that not a single one of the senior citizens has fallen asleep yet. They must stay amped on redbull or cocaine. That might actually explain Wyden.

They are trying so hard to pass something, ANYTHING, at this point. You would think they would think something like this out in a responsible way, especially since so much winning. Yet since nothing has been accomplished they are gonna pass this turd and eff generations of people over.

I know you’re a short sited kind of guy that thinks only of himself. That’s fine, it’s your right. Being a HENRY the projections keep your taxes down. However what the CBO charts show fucks lower wage earners over the long term, which impacts generational poverty. Putting your knee in those peoples back is a good thing in your eyes, that’s fine. I’m just stating facts, which we all know you don’t care about.
