The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Sen. McCaskill (D-Missouri) said it was odd that repealing a tax would actually increase and not decrease government revenue.
“Where do you think the 300 billion dollars is coming from? Is there a fairy that’s dropping it on the Senate,” Sen. McCaskill asked.
McCaskill says the $300 billion would be coming from decreases in healthcare subsidies and Medicaid costs.
“If you’re getting rid of a tax how does miraculously $320 billion dollars show up for you to spend on corporations? I’ll tell you why, because you’re eliminating $185 billion dollars in payments of subsidies to people who are getting insurance,” said Sen. McCaskill.
Senate Finance Committee Chair Orrin Hatch (R-UT) continued to debate with Sen. McCaskill about the benefits of the modified tax reform bill.
“If you’ll yield. If you would just yield for a second, there are no cuts to Medicaid in this bill,” said Hatch.
“The money you’re spending is coming from Medicaid and subsidies to people who make less than $50,000,” Sen. McCaskill said.

The insane proposal to tax graduate students for the amount of the tuition that is waived by their University—as opposed to simply their research stipends and teaching earnings (for which they are already taxed)—would increase taxes for graduate students by 300-400% and "make it financially impossible to earn a Ph.D. in the United States."

Interesting how the Franken story overshadowed the news this morning that Trump is only worth 1/10 of what he actually claimed.

How can trump talk about Franken when he's assaulted far more women? Are we just pretending these never happened?
He's also been awfully quiet on Roy Moore. I can't figure out the difference between Franken and Moore. Hmm.

I wonder about his business strategy going forward. His biggest asset over the past few years has been his licensing of the Trump brand. He must have realized that running for and winning the Presidency in a polarized country would have a negative impact on the value of that brand.
He's spoken against Globalism for thirty years, and flirted with a Presidential run for 30 years. Is it possible he really believed (I'm being serious) that the country needed him that badly?

I would consider graduate students a part of "the poor" whose taxes won't be raised
and find usage of "the poor" a dog whistle" for those people

Oklahoma was a low-tax state even before the 2010 GOP wave crashed over it. But tea-party Republican governor Mary Fallin and her conservative allies weren’t content with the low baseline they’d inherited. Like President Trump and congressional Republicans, Fallin believed that cutting taxes on wealthy individuals and businesses was the way to grow an economy, no matter what level those taxes were currently at, or how novel circumstances might change the government’s budgetary needs.
