I could hardly bear to read this. (Already have the facts from other sources, but I always want to read your take on things.) If your hopeful and logical thoughts/plans don't work out, at least we have the Richest Man In The World promising to primary every repugnicant who voted for the big, bad bill -- that is, if he pulls if off before his ex-BFF deports him.

The McConnell photo is perfect. How did you find it??

I remembered seeing a really awkward and unconvincing picture of Mitch McConnell fishing. So, I gave the prompt, "young Mitch McConnell fishing" to Google images and Duckduckgo. I often get better results on Duckduckgo, but Google had the winner this time.

I suspect that Murkowski knew that if she didn't respond in the MOST selfish and LEAST Golden Rule directed manner, no MAGA or GOP would ever take her "seriously" again.

Bizarro World, pure and simple. (With an obvious emphasis on "simple".)

We need to rollback all of the 2017 individual income tax cuts, not _just_ on high income tax payers.

IF they were paid for, uncapping SALT and full expensing of business investment are good ideas.

All deductions are bad (should be replaced by refundable partial tax credits at a rate that raises revenue) but the "standard deduction' should not exist, much less be doubled.

I know the standard deduction has been increased, but I don't believe it has been doubled.
