Major portions of Trump’s 2017 tax law are set to expire next year, and Republicans are aiming to give Trump a major legislative accomplishment within his first 100 days in office.

The GOP won control of the Senate in Tuesday’s elections. While control of the House is still uncertain, Republicans are optimistic that results are trending toward maintaining their narrow majority.

As party leaders discuss their plans for the early days of a new Trump administration, the attitude that’s emerged on taxes is, “Just go,” according to a top conservative lobbyist familiar with the discussions, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private talks. “Rip the Band-Aid and run and just plow it through.”

2. Nobody will read a word past tax cut

Well, we will. But they will be applauded for being so great. And then they will take credit for all good economic news that's left over from Biden. Sheeple will just chew on the tax cut cud, oblivious.

4. If course they will then complain the government about bridge and dams collapsing.

Plus all the job losses as there won't be money to hire workers and other government workers then there are cuts to military spending which will happen eventually which will lead to more job losses.
Theb there are the cuts to Social Security which will take billions out of the economy and more job losses in various retail stores such as grocery stores including Walmart.
Finally we come to the factory and farmers as without people having money to buy things you'll see farmers losing their farms and factory workers losing their jobs.
That's the real trickle down that's going to happen and all the while the MAGA morons will piss and moan that it's all the governments fault when really it's all theirs.

8. People including farmers don't seem to realize

That govt funding for school lunches, EBT and wic puts money in their pockets. Cut those programs and demand for the farmers crops go down. Complaints about handouts, when those handouts pass through multiple hands in the community.

5. Hope they remove taxes owed

when we cash out IRA accounts. But that won't happen because IRA accounts are for little people not hte wealthy.

6. When MAGAs wake up and realize their taxes went up to pay for it:

We'll just blame it on Biden!

11. This morning, I was listening to the morning news on WMUR in NH. They had a piece about a high school

that had just replaced an old oil-powered boiler heating system with a system powered by renewables. They then talked about the advantages of heat pumps and how there currently is a $15,000 grant available from the federal government, BUT they continued, Trump has promised to "claw that back." Trump mantra: goodies for me, not for thee.
