    Do you have questions about the recently passed tax bill? I invite you to view the Congressional Research Service summary which offers an in-depth analysis.pic.twitter.com/wapwWg4Qv0

        Couple questions on the last page....why pass this bill when "the economic effects of the tax cut would likely be small in the longer run and eventually contractionary"?

        Second, with the GOP's concerns about the deficit, why pass a bill that has an estimated 10 year revenue loss of $1.437 Trillion dollars? How does that help us pay down our current debt?

        Did I miss something — are people who inherent 10 million dollar estates more in need of help than the poorest Nebraskans?

        Yes my first question is why you would raise the lowest tax bracket from 10% to 12% on purpose

        Why are you willing to give tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of the middle class?

        My second question is why you instead are worried about people who own property valued at more than 5 million dollars

        Bottom line, you signed on to this; thus whatever comes out after Senate version you will own it.
