local, state and federal, will need MORE revenue sources to cover the staggering costs of multiple disasters affecting millions of Americans, not LESS. Tax cuts are great for Trump and the fatcats at the top of the food chain, but they don't need another yacht as much as the disaster victims need a home.

Maybe Trump should makes sure there is enough money to take care of the people who lost everything instead of gifting himself and his fellow millionaires with a windfall bonus.

"Go Congress Go?" Really?

Full Disclosure: I can think of about 150 of them that do need to go! But not in the way the quote intended.

We owe trillions of dollars in debt. The hurricane devastation is going to cost hundreds of billions. If ever there was a time to raise taxes, this is it.
