    MUST READ → #TaxReform “will bring economic growth back to its historical norm of 3 to 4%. Incredibly, the JCT scored growth for the Senate plan at less than 1%.... The Tax Foundation estimates 3 to 5% growth over the next 10yrs. That's more like it...”http://cnb.cx/2jDrgo0

        This CNBC opinion piece is by Larry Kudlow - who is a Trump hack. Sorry, but I will only see credibility with independent analysis. This is simply a biased opinion article.

        Sure. Well... the Tax Foundation is independent & nonpartisan. And here is a letter from more than 100 economists saying the same thing:https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/29/137-economists-support-gop-tax-reform-bill-in-open-letter-commentary.html …

        I will check this out. My husband has projected we will see a tax cut, but we are in the upper middle class (financially comfortable, not super rich). We are concerned those with much less will pay more for our tax cut, which we do not need.

        There’s lots of help for low income. For a family/married couple, the first $24,000 is not taxable at all. And according to very conservative estimates, at least 60% of Americans will see a tax cut of at least $100 or more.http://thehill.com/policy/finance/362485-60-percent-of-households-would-see-tax-cut-under-senate-gop-tax-bill-jct …

        A tax-cut of $100? Can you even type that w/ a straight-face? What about years 7-10? What happens to those bait & switch tax-cuts? I’m unsure how you sleep at night for so many different reasons. Good luck getting through the pearly gates for your sins against your fellow man.

        No sir. 99% of economists came out against this bill. It is still being written. If it was that great, then why not give it the proper hearings. You know those pesky democratic norms. You showed exactly what you're made of. I'm GOP changing to Ind on Monday AM.

        The GOP already deserved to lose every election for the next decade. Now with this bill make it the next two decades. You own this lie from top to bottom. You've let 45 run wild. And you don't care! You have not honored your oath! We'll find people who will!

        This entire article is about how the #TaxScamBill benefits corporations & big investors. So CEOs, bankers, and stockholders will rake in all the $$. Wages will remain stagnant & income inequality will grow. Stimulating the economy starts from the ground up! Not with millionaires!

        Kind of like cutting consumer protections against banks citing the banking industry's inability to make money w/ regs...as the banks raked in record profits in 2016 and are set to exceed those profits in 2017. The GOP did that too. Because they care about the middle class. 🙄

        How is the economy going to grow with the federal government sucking up all of the capital with deficit spending, raising interest rates? I voted for you. I was so wrong.

        Yes, and here's an editorial from the National Review saying that this tax scam bill is a betrayal of conservatism.http://www.nationalreview.com/article/454163/tax-reform-reagan-think-republican-plan …

        You lost all credibility when you were party to passing a bill that had pork and earmarks written in by lobbyists while Dems were denied a bill to read. You can't just keep blowing smoke to justify your actions. This bill is an abomination and you know it. Hypocrite. 2022

        The Dow is already higher than its ever been. I’m sure the business funded tax foundation has no bias that could influence its research. Imagine if you’d spent this $ on education or infrastructure.

        Senator, just yesterday you were praising the JCT as a legitimate, bipartisan source that does good work. I guess that only applies when their conclusions make your votes look good?
