Looks like CBS may have finally struck the truth in an attempt to smear the tax legislation again. The three families they picked all get a break on their taxes. Makes you wonder why they didn't do this much work before they trashed it so hard.

My accountant says I will save @ $2300.00 when I go from 15% to 12% in 2018. That money will be spent on any number of items. Accordingly, I fail to see why an infusion of cash in anyone's life is not a good thing.

Make America Great Again, huh? Pick a point in time when you thing America was great and compare the taxes then to the taxes now. Who is going to pay to make America great now? Taxes were much higher during those years you thought America was great.

The Best of CBPP Graphs: Guideposts on the Road Back to Factville | Jared Bernstein | On the...
My CBPP colleagues contributed many important graphics to the debates of 2011 in lots of different areas, including fiscal, poverty, inequality, health care, and more. But which ones to highlight in this end-of-year look back at the best of 2011? I generally used a market test: these are the ones that were most widely circulated.

Cpl Jeff N. Big Government the Democrats will always resist the effort to downsize the government. I am excited by the passage of the tax plan and hopeful that business will in-fact use the 21% tax rate to re-invest in the US as they have in Ireland and other low tax countries.
The MSM (media) is always grossly unfair to republicans, I have seen it all my life, with Reagan, Bush , Trump and all our candidates.
Government is not the total solution, it needs to be part of the solution. Businesses need a healthy environment and don't need to be demonized every day. Wealth can growth it is not a zero sum game, if we have more profits, there are more taxes to government for the role it can play to help people.
I have not seen the GOP really balance the budget except for the 1994 - 2000 period with President Bill Clinton. We had for a very brief period a minor surplus.
Can't the GOP talk about the role of government and the good it can do.
Can't the Democrats stop with the games of calling everyone opposed to their agenda names? It is the most disingenuous, illogical strategy and just drives away everyone you need as partners.
When our debt reaches $30 Trillion or $40 Trillion and we literally can't borrow, what do we do?
The Big Government option doesn't work. No one in the market will lend the money.
The US will be like the EU, the bureaucracy will stare at each other and blame the politicians of the past while they have no choice but to cut the benefits to the people just like what is happening in city after city going bankrupt due to promises they can't keep.

The problem with modern democrats is that they believe the phrase "downsize the government" means cutting it to a single entity in charge. They are wrong; it means scaling it back to the original size and scope with the same checks and balances of three branches with a bicameral legislature which we really lost with the passage of the 17th amendment.

Sir, no one has downsized the government or paid off the massive debt. All that happened was the revenue stream was reduced so the government is in even worse shape to pay it's bills and the debt will grow larger; just like under Reagan (and he ended up raising taxes 11 times). Ironically, many of the guys that got the biggest tax breaks are also among the same guys taxpayers are paying extra interest to for the debt

CPO (Join to see) Yes, you and I have the biggest frustration. I used to expect the GOP to be anti-debt. Not the way it is any more.

Just as an aside, nothing is more hilariously ironic than seeing people in the military trash-talking the notion of "big government". But that's neither here nor there.

Eisenhower's "Military-Industrial Complex" Speech Origins and Significance
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address, known for its warnings about the growing power of the "military-industrial complex," was nearly two years ...
An earlier draft called it the “military-industrial-congressional complex,” but Ike deleted “congressional” from the speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg-jvHynP9Y

LTC John Shaw - "Most the spending is Social Security, Medicare that started small where many of the federal entitlement programs established by FDR in the 1930s Social Security, Medicare and 1960s Great Society - Expanded SSI Disability, Medicaid, Welfare, health and human services. These are wonderful programs; however the founders intended these to be state level."
--"Provide for the common defense; support the *general welfare* and, secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity"
I always have to ask what are we securing? Are we spending everything on the lock to secure a decrepit shack? A million dollar padlock for a fifty dollar prize?

SSG (Join to see) - You and I agree in that respect. Defense = security = insurance = risk management Post WWII the US policy became we police the world, this must stop. I hated ISAF = (I Saw Americans Fight / I Suck At Fighting) in Afghanistan because the coalition is ineffective. This leads back to unilateral action...
We need to figure out how to have NATO, China, Russia, India, whomever will play in the box with us and manage an area.
I want the Constitution respected. Federal enumerated powers (defense), state powers (Health and Human Services) powers not specifically stated in the constitution
Each state already has the power to levy the tax, collect the tax and execute the HHS.
The bottom line issue is NO ONE WANTS TO PAY for the real cost of care.
I think we have a nice shack, and a trillion dollar padlock that we have borrowed at least 3/4 of it from the Chinese.
