When the Big Turd of a Bill passes and causes real pain, how will the GOP and their media whores explain it away?

1. The cuts were necessary due to Biden's "out of control infrastructure and pandemic spending."

2. The pandemic forever altered the economy and businesses need these taxcuts to fully recover to prepandemic levels.

3. Medicare and Social Security were never intended to fully cover the all the needs of the people: Americans became too dependant on government.

Please: join in with your ideas!

Judging from recent election results, many Americans suffer from amnesia and ADHD.

have never voted for them. PULEEZE. Your tax dollars are paying their salaries. They are supposed to be representing all the people who live in their districts -- not just those who voted for them. It's so easy to be suckered into that mindset.

They work for us. Yeah, Democrats, too. We need to put our "big-boy" pants on and go after their raggedy butts.

Then move on to the weather and fireworks. It’s almost like it was designed to pass on a long weekend where no one pays attention.

They'll produce false political/propaganda advertising that said Trump and Republicans stood up to tax-and-spend liberals in Congress (yes, outright lies with no aplogies for it. Hide behind PACs). Expect a FLURRY of rallies and "press conferences" to sell, sell, sell what an amazing bill it was. Cabinet members FAWNING over Trump. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. MSM will report as "fact".

anyone who can't figure out this game by now is not paying attention
