But it IS true that even if it's only in terms of politics, borrowing this money to give away to rich people will make it harder to borrow money tomorrow for things we actually need, things that actually help people.

#GOPTaxScam! They borrowed money off YOUR productivity, and gave it to your boss. They played America. Again. Don't let them play us ever again.Show this thread
