Some food for your thought: "To have the moral authority to go to the general public with a call for sacrifice in the name of simplification, an administration needs to be able to say, 'We had no choice.'" @genebsperling on the GOP tax plan: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/republicans-are-falsely-claiming-their-tax-bill-will-simplify-the-code/547127/?utm_source=nl-atlantic-daily-113017&silverid=MzEwMTU3NjEyMDE1S0 "GOP leaders say they want to simplify the tax code—but their plan asks working families for sacrifices, while delivering benefits to corporations and the wealthiest Americans." "The baby boom is being evicted from the penthouse of American politics," writes @RonBrownstein. "And on the way out, it has decided to trash the place." https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/young-people-will-foot-the-bill-for-the-gops-tax-plan/547097/?utm_source=nl-atlantic-daily-113017&silverid=MzEwMTU3NjEyMDE1S0 "The Republican tax plan would stick young people with the bill, right as political influence is shifting to America’s diverse younger generations." |

Don't pop the cork on that bottle of bubbly just yet: Five issues that could derail a spending deal; http://thehill.com/homenews/house/364043-five-issues-that-could-derail-a-spending-deal "Congress punted its funding fight for another two weeks, setting up a contentious spending showdown just days before Christmas. Lawmakers passed a stopgap bill on Thursday to avoid a shutdown and keep the government’s lights on through Dec. 22. But members acknowledge that the real budget brawl — and the threat of a shutdown — will come later this month." |

I'm just reporting on the trends and developments. Like this one: Republicans fret over tax bill's unpopularity; http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/364054-republicans-fret-over-tax-bills-unpopularity "Republican lawmakers are concerned about how their tax bill is being viewed by the public and say they need to do a better job of selling it to middle-class and low-income voters. A CBS News poll conducted last week found that 53 percent of people nationwide disapprove of the GOP tax bill and only 35 percent approve. While support for the bill was strong among self-identified Republicans, according to the poll, 52 percent of independents and a whopping 84 percent of Democrats disapprove of the legislation." Man That's WINNING!!!!!! |

Wall Street falls as investors fret about tax bill passage; https://www.fidelity.com/news/article/top-news "The S&P 500 and the Dow were lower on Thursday as investors worried about potential roadblocks to Republicans' tax overhaul, offseting their optimism over strong retail sales data. Lawmakers such as Senators Marco Rubio and Mike Lee said on Thursday that they would not vote on the bill without changes to child tax credits. Congressional Republicans had reached a deal on final tax legislation on Wednesday. Equity investors worry that stocks could tumble if the bill, which includes slashing corporate taxes, fails. "The fear they can't get corporate tax cuts across the finish line might be causing the market to turn down, despite the strong retail sales and other good economic data," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh." |

Wall St. can care less about taxes as long as the companies stock they are holding is up. La Pizzeria has no clue how Wall St. mentality works. The only people who can collapse Wall St. are insiders. |

The current tax bill is nothing but a desperate attempt by the Republican Party to save itself from irrelevance altogether: The GOP’s Tax-Reform Parlay Is a Long Shot http://bit.ly/2BKG5h9 "The bill might help the economy, but it’s unlikely to save Republicans from a midterm shellacking next year. The Republicans are betting big on a parlay...Tax reform is a massive parlay. Republicans are betting that passage of tax reform will have the desired economic effect, boosting economic growth and wages, with (politically) minimal impact on the deficit. They’re also betting that passage will dispel the widespread sense that the GOP-controlled Congress can’t get anything done. But the biggest bet is that not only will the expected boost to the economy and the renewed sense of GOP competence make this remarkably unpopular legislation popular, but that a roaring economy will have a huge electoral payoff come the 2018 midterms and beyond."

Jamie Dimon disagrees. CEO of the largest financial operations by assets in the nation said,...tax reform "After the bill passes "probably a trillion dollars will come back from overseas," he added. "Cumulatively over time that will accelerate growth in the American economy." |

LOL, perhaps you mean "an economist who might have seemed bright 40 years ago"? Sowell is a dinosaur -- still clinging desperately to supply-side, despite mountains of contrary evidence. |
