How was Trump right? Every poll had the tax plan being very unpopular.
Also, what riders did the GOP try to sneak in to this bill?
The reality is, congress and the president are going to have to come up with cuts. Cuts that make sense, cuts that are deep, and in some cases cuts that will be wildly unpopular, yet necessary.
The continuing resolution to raise the debt ceiling is, as we all know, a stopgap measure. Without a comprehensive budget that calls for cuts the tax breaks we get now will simply turn into debt tomorrow.

Kick that can down the road. Deal with it after their extended vacation. I'm sure they knew it was going to pass even if they voted no for the publicity.
Our representation is an absolute joke. Now and long before Trump.
What kind of nut would vote "No" ?
Pelosi and Schumer voted "No"

If I don’t start hearing about cuts come January, preferably during the state of the union address, then I’ll just have to assume that President Trump has no intention of changing the disastrous course of our fiscal house, and congress will once again shirk their duty.
