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

@Reason10 The orange traitor is spending $10,000,000 tax money a month playing golf. At that rate he will have blown $480,000,000 tax dollars in 4 years.
You and crazy Maddow are deliberately missing the point. Our government has been behaving badly to say the least for decades and I would trace it back to LBJ and Kiki g JFK. The President is goi g to end that and claw back a lot of money for us. Including YOU. @Diotrephes

Please let us know when your orange traitor hero makes you homeless.
@BizSuitStacy Amazing how their minds work. You know what it is, their TDS forces them to take the stance that is opposite of what Trump is doing, even if it totally contradicts that which they themselves believe. It is a very strange phenomenon
