LSjustbloggin: If the TJAC is not extended, it'll result in a 4 Trillion tax increase on every American regardless of how much they make or earn.

The Trump Tax Cut's are a handout to the top 1% that made us lose billions in revenue. [Link]

And who do you think has to foot the bill? The people who would be forced to pay the insane Tariffs that Trump wants, which serve the same purpose as Project 2025's Sales Tax Idea

And?

Any particular reason you had to point out a Jewish Man was in a Financial Role?

Not that he's jewish, because he's now a powerful asset to the Democrats even though he caucuses with them. He rose to become the top Dem on the Budget committee, now he's the top Dem on the H.E.L.P Committee.

The Finance committee had 5 new Democratic spots following the departure of 6 senators. They picked Sanders, Welch, Smith, Warnock, and Lujan. The Republicans picked Roger Marshall.

Notice you didn't mention Peter Welch in the comment. Specifically singled out Bernie....again For what purpose?

It's why I started the reply with "AND?"...And what? What is the purpose of pointing that out? What is the point of pointing out a Jewish Man is on a financial committee?

You oppose his policies Trump's, so it can't be you expect him to bail you out for all the bad **** Trump WILL do. So what purpose do you have of signaling out Bernie?

Parties can choose whoever they want to serve certain committees and that's that.

About tax reform, while the 2017 law provided relief for working families, it also did for the super-rich. It wasn't a perfect law by any means, but it was better than no reform at all.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH....IT DID NOT, that's not true..I provided a link showing that isn't true....
"Households with incomes in the top 1 percent will receive an average tax cut of more than $60,000 in 2025, compared to an average tax cut of less than $500 for households in the bottom 60 percent"

It's a handout to the rich, very blatantly. Maybe cool it with the internet porn and let the blood flow back to your head so that you can actually read....
