Trump budget bill extending first-term tax cuts survives House vote
The House of Representatives has adopted a resolution that will eventually become a massive multi-trillion-dollar bill full of President Donald Trump's priorities on the border, defense, energy and taxes.
In a major victory for House GOP leaders, the resolution passed in a 217 to 215 vote.
All Democrats voted against the measure, along with lone Republican rebel Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who was concerned about its effect on the national deficit.
That's a hell of a hoot. DemoNazis worried about the national deficit when THEIR WELFARE SPENDING IS 70 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL BUDGET.
As written, the House bill also provided $4.5 trillion to extend President Donald Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, which expire at the end of this year.
An amendment negotiated by House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, and conservatives on his panel would also force lawmakers to make $2 trillion in cuts, or else risk the $4.5 trillion for Trump's tax cuts getting reduced by the difference.
So if you work a job, this bill keeps Washington from RAISING YOUR TAXES.
Those of you with a job will see the up side of this.
Those of you liberal Democrats who are ALL on WELFARE and don't work for a living, won't see any change whatsoever. As far as the vast majority of America

@whowasthatmaskedman The only solution out of this will be to make it mandatory for every American to have a lemonade stand at the end of their driveways on weekends and all gross income will be confiscated by Musk and paid down against the principle balance owing of $40T.
I don't know how else they can get out from underneath it if taxes aren't being raised to address it.
@swirlie I see what you are saying. However, there is a flaw. Income needs to be brought in from other countries. So those lemonade stands need to be in Canada, Mexico, Britain. Africa. You get the idea,,😷
@Reason10 And there goes employment and there goes revenue income from sales and there goes profit and there goes shareholder dividends and there goes tax revenue..All because some greedy rich @$$wipes wouldnt pay taxes..Funny how the system worked fun all through the 50s and 60s..
