Article from Reason by David Harsanyi.
For those of you who survived the Great GOP Tax Cut Massacre, things are finally looking up. The unemployment rate fell to 3.6 percent last month, the lowest level since 1969. We’ve now experienced over a full year of unemployment at 4 percent or lower. The economy beat projections, adding another 263,000 jobs in April. Wages are rising.
It was Larry Summers, Bill Clinton’s former treasury secretary and Barack Obama’s White House economic adviser, who warned that tax reform would lead to over 10,000 dead Americans every year in December of 2017. Summers, considered a reasonable moderate by today’s political standards, was just one of the many fearmongers.
The same month, after cautioning that passage of tax cuts would portend “Armageddon,” then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi explained that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), a reform of corporate tax codes and a wide-ranging relief, was “the worst bill in the history of the United States Congress.” Worse than the Fugitive Slave Act? Worse than the Espionage Act? Worse than congressional approval of the internment of Japanese Americans? That’s a really bad bill.
The tenor of left-wing cable news and punditry was predictably panic-stricken. After asserting that the cuts wouldn’t help create a single job, Bruce Bartlett told MSNBC that tax relief was “really akin to rape.” Kurt Eichenwald tweeted that “America died tonight.” “I’m a Depression historian,” read the headline on a Washington Post op-ed. “The GOP tax bill is straight out of 1929,” proclaimed the same writer. And so on.

When ego is so strong that wrong becomes right in the mind of its victim, hope vanishes.

HARRIS IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT. BOTH PARENTS WERE NOT BORN HERE.
The democratic party, as a whole, has wasted three years bashing Trump and accomplished nothing ! They refuse to work on alternate solutions of any kind. Losing the election to a conservative minded president has them ion an unprecedented frenzy, akin to a young child who doesn’t get it’s way. If we can’t get this non productive “dead wood” out of our system then term limits are our only hope !!
When you are a child of Satan how can you expect to be right, when Satan was wrong from the beginning. Just useful idiots.
If you claim you are a born again washed in the Blood of Jesus Christian and belong to the Democratic Party, you had get out of it because they are against God and Jesus Christ his son. The Bible says for us to come out from among them and be ye separate sayeth the Lord.
