A huge tax break snuck into Trump & the GOP's big ugly bill would allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their planes in the first year of purchase. Meanwhile, the law will cause millions to lose food assistance and healthcare. "Party of the working class."

They are already talking about how we have to “rein in spending” — AFTER they get their tax cut, expecting us to believe they still care about the debt This means they’ll oppose programs that help regular people and call them “fiscally reckless” They think we are all morons

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless. Understand what's going on.
