The stress of passing this legislation has led Mr. Ryan to confuse his pronouns and syntax. I think what he was trying to say is: âEveryone knows that these cuts will increase the deficit and inequality, and nobody in my party cares.â
I wonder what kind of spending he wants to control. ???
âI mean, look at the study we did in Kansas, where we actually implemented these policies, and their economy exploded, and the tax cuts paid for themselves almost immediatelyâŚâ
The National Association of Manufacturersâ survey, incidentally, allowed respondents to choose more than one answer for what they would do with their saved tax dollars, including âincrease capital spending,â âexpand your businessâ and âhire more workers.â âBuy back sharesâ wasnât an option.
How would you rate Paul Ryanâs performance as Speaker of the House?
A. Perfect.
B. Excellent.
C. Great.
D. Good.

âSee, 90% of respondents think Iâm doing a good job!â - Paul Ryan
If we look at the historical economic performance of these boondoggles, we have a pretty good idea.
I think Dems should adopt the mantra when we start hearing the inevitable proposals to cut entitlements. âWaitâyou said that it would bring in revenue. Why not just wait a bit, and then the increased revenue will take care of the cost of entitlements at the same time that it pays for the tax cuts. Donât you have any faith in your economic policy?â
âWe clearly have to go after spending control.â
He said after spending $1.5T on needless gifts to the extremely wealthy.
âRyan also said, incorrectlyâ
No. Ryan lied.
Ah but spending money doesnât pay for itself, only giving tax cuts doesâŚ
Those librul elites thinking they know that just because you cut trillions in revenue that the deficit will go upâwhat arrogance! The only thing anyone can know with absolute certainty is that the Rapture is coming very soon and all Ayn Randians are going to beamed up immediately.
Because nobody has seen the damn bill except congressional republicans, your government at work folks. History wasnât kind the first time âtrickle-downâ was trotted out. why not give it another try?
âNobody knows the answer to that question, because thatâs in the future,â Ryan said. âBut what we do know is that this will increase economic growth.â
I think it was Maher that said trickle down economics is like tossing a steak to hungry dogs and expecting them to share.
And to take if further, in the words of the old spiritual, âNobody knows the trouble youâre gonna seeâŚâ
Matt, Paul Ryan is a R from WI not a D. Please correct it. Thanks.
What an assh0le.
So when we demonstrate we need pics of Zinke on his plane ride, Trump in his gold pent houses, the crystal chandelier street lights on rodeo drive with signs âCut Needless spending! Gov Spending For the 99%!â
After Mnuchin did all that exhaustive research they still donât know? Well itâs only a couple of $trillion.
Attn: Bob CorkerKickback.
Hereâs the answer to your deficit concerns.
The question of higher wages, Ryan said, was not a question of âifâ but âhow much.â
Iâm afraid I have to agree with Ryan on this.
Will already-shockingly-obscene executive compensation quadruple, or merely triple?
Not a question of âifâ but âhow much.â
âNobody knows the answer to that question, because thatâs in the future,â Ryan said. âBut what we do know is that this will increase economic growth.â
Ummmmm, Iâm just gonna point out the fucking obviousâŚif the tax cuts paying for themselves is unknowable because itâs in the future, then increasing economic growth is exactly the same level of unknowable as it is also in the future. And this guy is a policy wonk? No, heâs just another Republican Shyster. *&^%$#
$1.5T is a hell of a gamble to take. Glad that we have such responsible leadership in Congress carefully thinking about and analyzing and getting expert opinions about these bills before passing them. /s
Journalism really isnât a place for half assed work. Do it right or get another gig. We all heard the confidence fairy crap the GOP was spewing to justify this tax cut. NONE of them said âŚâno one knowsâ at that time. It was going to pay for itself. Just a few days ago the âTax Manâ Grover Norquist was on the Tee Vee saying no one is concerned about the effects of this bill on the deficit. âno one cares about the deficitâ. Yesterday Ryan was back on script saying we âwill never pay off our debtâ if we donât address ( as in cut ) entitlements. The Journo used the pejorative âentitlementsâ as well avoiding Social Security and Medicare, names that poll much better.
If the Polâs are going to go all over the place on this issue it would be helpful if the Journalists covering it didnât do the same. The American people were just scammed by the GOP. Most of us knew that before they showed their assâs in the last 2 days. Is it possible the MSM could make this a little clererâŚas in clear enough for the WWC and the Coal Miners to see they just got royally fucked.
