    Yeah. What do we need committees, hearings, or official economic analyses looking at the silly ole details for, anyway?https://twitter.com/avik/status/936793735479754752 …

    There are plenty of things to agree with and disagree with in this bill. But to claim that the policies haven't been debated every day is to deliberately ignore the news.

        Google the context of that quote. And here's a reminder of the process that the ACA went through: https://www.healthinsurance.org/blog/2017/06/23/what-ramming-through-a-health-bill-looks-like/ … That chart compares the ACA process with this year's BCRA, which was pretty similar in process to this tax bill.

        the floor debate was mostly for show.. the real deal making happened in Harry Reid's back room...if you followed in the process back then you would know

        Clearly you yourself didn’t or you wouldn’t have needed the context of that quote provided to you and it wouldn’t have been your first arguing point.

        Have you seen the polls? The tax bill lost the public debate, and it wasn’t close.

        Do they even know what is in the bill they approved? That's a lot of pages with hand written additions to pass in the middle of the night. No time for voters to voice agreements or disagreements. Very concerning!

        Do you even know what the JCT is? If not then you might want to rethink your tweet. If you do then why make a false claim?

        I do not understand these people. Why do they blatantly lie and feel perfectly ok with it? I just don't understand. Didn't they grow up with role models in their lives to teach them the difference between right and wrong?
