Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Republicans passed a sweeping tax cut for two-thirds of Americans in 2017, saying it would pay for itself and the American public would thank them.

Now, as Americans finish filing to the IRS for the first time under the new system, the law has swelled the deficit and surveys show just one-fifth of taxpayers believe their taxes have gone down. That’s made it hard for President Donald Trump to leverage the tax cuts as an issue in 2020, when he’s up for reelection and his party will be seeking to retake the House of Representatives.

“The Democrats really outmaneuvered the Republicans by convincing the American people that the main thrust of the tax reform package was to cut taxes for the wealthy,” said Dan Eberhart, a major Republican donor who runs the drilling services company Canary, LLC. Republicans “failed to fully explain the success to voters.”



The Trump administration and congressional Republicans sold the tax law as fuel for economic growth and deficit reduction. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave assurances in December 2017 that the measure would not only contain the deficit but be a “revenue-producer.” Trump’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, said last week that the tax cut package had largely already paid for itself, a statement that conflicts with government data.


The U.S. budget shortfall grew by 17 percent to $779 billion in fiscal year 2018, which the Congressional Budget Office has said was partly a consequence of the tax law. Along with additional spending that’s been signed into law, the CBO projects the deficit will surpass $1 trillion by 2020.


But an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll this month showed that just 17 percent of Americans believe their taxes have been cut. A Reuters/Ipsos poll in March found that 21 percent thought their taxes were lowered.

They are too stupid to realize they got it in their paycheck all year long!

They need to look at their take-home before/after the Tax Cut.

DUH!!!!!

you think?   A few pennies per week for the working man compared to the massive tax cuts for the already wealthy.

What does "justice" have to do with your earnings?

If you have the skills/education/experience/knowledge/capabilities, then you can earn higher pay.

If you do not, then you don't/won't/can't.

"Justice" has NOTHING to do with it!!!  (Except in Socialism/Communism where everyone is POOR!)

DUH!!!

People for the most part choose who they are or are born that way

That the left cry’s about things out of their control when they have the same choices we all have

means they are playing the victim card as nitwit just did here SSDD for that commie boy !

That's okay, tax cuts are good for everyone, and that's really all that matters.

They are NOT any good if the deficit/debt starts running wild!
Trump has to cut spending, be he is spending like a drunken sailor!

Trump is what is BAD for America.  He is a lying, cheating con-man.

The Ds will fix it.   Let's see...how much more do they want to add to spending for "Medicare for all" and the GND?  There are not enough wealthy Americans to rape to even come close to footing that bill.
