374. A little clarity

Technically, you got me. I still don't think that supports Joe's statement. I asked my friend google what's up with that.

Late Tuesday and early Wednesday, House and Senate Republicans passed what many are calling the most thorough overhaul of US tax laws in decades—”the biggest in history,” if you’re Donald Trump—one that saw no support from a single Democratic lawmaker in either house.

So we know ALL the Democrats are good guys.


In the Senate, which voted during the wee hours today, every Republican lawmaker voted for the bill—except John McCain, who is battling brain cancer—leading it to pass 51-48.

Not a single repub senator voted against it. McCain was absent. Would he have been the one good repub? Even if so, he's dead now.


In the House, which voted Tuesday evening for the bill 227-203, 12 Republicans voted against the bill. They were mostly the same Republicans who voted against an earlier version of the tax bill, and they were mainly from the east or west coast.
. . . .

The two California Republican representatives who voted against the bill cited the removal of a deduction for state and local taxes, known by the acronym SALT, which is expected to impact high earners in Democratic-leaning states. It’s also the main reason the Republicans in other states who voted against the bill did so.

Aw, look at that. Their objection to the bill was that it might impact high earners. How noble of them. Does Joe thinks Darrell Issa is one of the good guys?
