    Since the landmark Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became law at the end of last year, nearly 1.7 million jobs have been created nationwide, and 4 million have been created since the Republican-led Congress and the president joined forces in 2017. ⬇️https://www.thune.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/op-eds?ID=6701C2F3-5417-4996-AD16-9B360004CFA9 …

        I've consumed about 150 gallons of coffee since the beginning of the year, at about 8 lbs per gallon, that's 1,200 pounds. I haven't weighed myself lately but I must weigh close to 1,400 pounds! Link: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001?output_view=net_1mth …pic.twitter.com/Zx3dNo6bXA

        I know my little analogy isn't quite right, but the issue of taxation and employment is rather complex and, as usual, poorly informed by Thune. My point: I'm not impressed. VOTE for honesty, VOTE for social responsibility. We're all in this together.

        Thune - "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became law at the end of last year, nearly 1.7 million jobs have been created" Translation - Our tax windfall for the super wealthy is going to cause long term shortages for Social Security and Medicare. But hey you got a minimum wage job!

        Unrelated. Giving tax cuts to billionaires doesn't create jobs, it only leads to lower wages and higher inequality.

        Thanks to President Obama who rescued the country from Bush’s Great Recession. The tax scam is causing the deficit to balloon to record heights.

        OOPS...TRY TO NOT BLINDLY REPEAT TRUMP LIES If you take a look at Obama’s 2nd term, he was adding 217,000/mo. Since Trump assumed the presidency, he’s been adding 189,000/mo. Those are roughly in the same ballpark, but Trump brags that he’s doing something that Obama wasn’t,pic.twitter.com/9sXkL7F7Mo

        "At the end of FY 2018 the gross US federal government debt is estimated to be $21.48 trillion, according to the FY19 Federal Budget." Guess you forgot to mention that. Smoke and mirrors.

        Hey John....just trying to understand why rate of job growth has actually slowed down and the deficits have mushroomed by $1.5T since @realDonaldTrump took office. I am concerned about this long term impact. Please explain. Thanks.

        TaxScam is a transfer of wealth from the people to the few elite top 1% and large corporations. You have no $ to pay for it and now want to take the peoples social security, Medicare and Medicaid, just like Bush stole $1.9T from Americans.

        Would have been the same under President Hillary Clinton without the TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT this year and the 3.7 TRILLION DOLLAR addition to the national debt. Not to mention the pathetic repatriation of less than 10% of the profits corporations have parked overseas. #FAILURE!

        Any businesses/jobs that are created are done by hat tricks where legislators raise taxes on the 90% to subsidize jobs and very inefficiently at that.
