The Tax Bill: Pro-Life? Pro-Family?? Bullshit

[Pat Mustard]

Are you willfully ignoring the fact that LOST control means they HAD control...and didn't tax the hell out of the 1% while they had it?

Unless I'm mistaken, they would need 60 Senators for such a bill to be filibuster proof, and even then, they can't afford to lose a single Senator. The Democratic Party is more united than the Republican party, but it's not that united.

Getting any legislation passed is difficult. Even when the Dems had 60 Senators and passed Obamacare, they had to bend over backwards to insurance companies and Republicans while the bill was being written, as well as the more right-wing members of their own party. The final Obamacare bill was a watered down version of the original as a result.

And given that the original was a pisspoor republitraitor plan to funnel money from the government to the insurers and private hospitals while reaming the taxpayers, you know a watered down version is going to be bad, albeit not as bad as what it replaced.
