As is my hobby, I channel surf after a major political
announcement or
news, just to get a feel on how the cable networks react.

So, after today's announcement of the proposed new tax rates,
the
panel
on FoxNews were kicking around how it will help individuals,
small
businesses and large businesses. The focus of their
discussion was
how
and why the new tax rate plan would benefit the economy
overall and
create more jobs.

Switch to MSNBC:

Here the larger panel of pundits were focusing (and
speculating) on
how
the new tax rates will benefit Donald Trump. Period. That's
all
they
were talking about.


Like you, Fox has bought into the Trump bull****. MSNBC wants
to know
how many millions the Trumpsters will make off of this, what it
will do
to the deficits, and how it will devastate what little remains
of the
social safety net, science, enforcement of anti-pollution and
other
citizen safety laws.


BTW, this wasn't his budget request. It was his proposal for
lowering
taxes. The rich still pay the highest percentage by far. It
really
applies to middle class individuals, Sub-S sorporations and
large
corporations as an incentive to base operations in the USA,
expand and
hire more Americans. A one time tax will apply for those
corporations
with their holdings overseas and then a 15 percent (as proposed)
tax
thereafter.

This is very good for the economy of the USA.


Really? What about the deficit?

His Treasury guy (forget his name) claims the new tax rates will
produce
something like 5 Trillion in revenues over 5 years. It's a start.




That's hilarious.


Why's that? I can understand why it could. A robust, growing
economy
is the largest revenue generating source. Taxes aren't even close.


Trump's tax cuts will simply put more money in the hands of the rich,
weaken the country and further devastate the lower and middle income
families. All that will trickle down is ****.

You best cover your head, Krause!



Harry's claims are pure BS. His claim that the House and Senate
investigations into Russiagate is being drawn out because the
Republicans chair the committees is pure BS as well.
The Democrats would be screaming bloody murder, especially those on the
respective committees. None are complaining, probably because they
have
yet to find anything to complain about or report.



The slowdown has been in the news for several days.



Not making headlines that are noticeable. It's probably because the
liberal mantra change from "Russia, Russia, Russia" to "Returns,
Returns, Returns" is still in process.



:Uh huh.

Senate Trump-Russia Probe Has No Full-Time Staff, No Key Witnesses

The Senate Intelligence Committee’s probe into Russia’s election
interference is supposedly the best hope for getting the public credible
answers about whether there was any coordination between the Kremlin and
Trump Tower.

But there are serious reasons to doubt that it can accomplish this task,
as currently configured.

More than three months after the committee announced that it had agreed
on the scope of the investigation, the panel has not begun substantially
investigating possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, three
individuals with ties to the committee told The Daily Beast.

The investigation does not have a single staffer dedicated to it
full-time, and those staff members working on it part-time do not have
significant investigative experience. The probe currently appears to be
moving at a pace slower than prior Senate Intelligence Committee
investigations, such as the CIA torture inquiry, which took years to
accomplish.

No interviews have been conducted with key individuals suspected of
being in the Trump-Russia orbit: not Michael Flynn, not Roger Stone, not
Carter Page, not Paul Manafort, and not Jared Kushner, according to two
sources familiar with the committee’s procedures.

Excuses, excuses. How about the FBI investigation? Is Comely dragging
his feet as well?

Hey, did you hear the latest? Rep. Jason Chaffetz announced he will
not seek reelection in 2018 in order to spend more time with his family.

Your hero, Maxine Waters went on the networks speculating that the real
reason is because he's a Russian operative taking orders from the
Kremlin and thinks he is about to be exposed.
