Tax Plan or Tax Scam?

Submitted by ub on

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin meets Koch conservatives to promote #Trumptaxplan. Has anyone seen his taxes yet? The American taxpayer must be able to understand the full scope of #TRUMPTAXES.

How can the administration forge a close collaboration with the Koch brothers and President Trump, when his own taxes are not known? Are the Koch brothers gearing up to convince US their version of tax reform means only the 1% deserve tax cuts?

Failure Facts

In a stinging and dramatic defeat and disastrous deflate to @POTUS President Donald Trump, GOP Senators failed to dismantle Obamacare, falling short on another campaign promise and ending a seven-year quest by their party to gut the health care law. They had no bill, no plan and therefore not enough support for a semi secret bill that was in a crafting process. A Whitehouse in chaos does not appear to be winning like Trump promised.

Repair Obamacare

Submitted by ub on

Repeals and replace #Obamacare was nothing more than GOP Hot Air. Make no mistake about it, this vote is a major blow to President Trump and Republican lawmakers, who promised to repeal and replace Obamacare. The US Congress will not repair Obamacare. Will Trump learn the hard way that his Tweets, threats, and multiple golf outings get him nothing done in DC?

US Congress may be finally realizing it's time to move on once and for all. GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is finally urging all members of the entire Senate to move on after that chamber narrowly rejected their last ditch effort to repeal Obamacare.

The US Senate narrowly defeated a bill early Friday that would have repealed limited portions of the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare. US Senator John McCain was able to cast the deciding vote against the plan.

Senators voted 49-51 for the bill, falling two votes short of the 51 votes needed to pass the legislation. In addition to McCain, Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska also voted against the failed bill.
