      It's easily possible to 1) be happy that thousands of workers are getting $1,000 bonuses and hourly raises AND 2) believe the government borrowing $146,000,000,000 every year is a highly inefficient way of incentivizing that benefit Not mutually exclusive.

      This is better, though I'd argue on fundamentals: you don't borrow for a tax cut, you borrow for the actual spending. ;)

      If the bill cut spending to balance the tax cuts--or, as I wanted, do real tax reform by eliminating various breaks and deductions, simplifying the code, and lowering the rates--then I'd evaluate it on those merits. But the result is a bigger deficit, so that's how I'm judging it

          Real reform is what most conservatives wanted. But when the early press is how many people will die... getting rid of deductions isn't in the cards. The party support is too hollow, and the Dems are much more effective at shouting down our policies than we are at selling 'em.

          Conservatives, maybe, but not most Republicans. R's control all branches of government. They passed a bill with zero D's. They could've done anything they wanted. But instead of taking their time and crafting real Reagan-style reform, they rushed this mess through.

          In a perfect world maybe. But "Republicans" don't control the WH, Trump does. The Senate has a 1 vote majority and is procedurally difficult. The House is facing a antitrump, anti incumbent wave. They aren't killing popular deductions when they're fighting for their lives.
