View Attachment and another thought. If 45s tax reform is oh, "so great. the best. blah, blah, blah..." how about they release and we get a turbo-tax like version just to try it out first- just.in.case. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Reaganomics didn’t work the first time. The economy improves when PEOPLE ( lots of them ) not companies, spend money. IMO Large corporations should be taxed extra when they eliminate a job/position or outsource it. ( but that will never fly )

Fox News..... .”@speakerryan: "I think @potus is giving us the kind of leadership we need to get this country back on the right track." #Hannityat9” How far they have fallen. Well, in a roundabout way, they may be right. This is exactly the type of leadership that may get people out to vote in droves for 2018 congressional elections and shake things up. And I predict there will be far fewer voters sitting out the next presidential election as well. And can we finally put the "protest vote" out to pasture? People who just couldn't bring themselves to vote doe Hilary, even though they knew that would be to Trump's advantage, are just as responsible for where we are now as those deplorables who actually worship Cheeto. They can try to paint their position as"noble," but they just helped elect this nightmare. Pick a side and own it.

And then there is this tweet by President Obama....
“We're expanding our efforts to help Puerto Rico & the USVI, where our fellow Americans need us right now. Join us at oneamericaappeal.org”
Hey tiny hands note the phrase “our fellow Americans need us right now”.

Can any of you imagine trump ever wading in flood waters above his waste to check on “fellow” Americans?

trump....
“To the people of Puerto Rico: Do not believe the #FakeNews! #PRStrong🇵🇷“
Considering only 5% of the country has power I doubt very much the people are being swamped by fake news. However what they are doing is waithing for electricity, clean water, food, and homes with the walls standing and a roof.

How are we supposed to know what to think if he can't settle on one or the other?

James Cook BBC...
“BREAKING US Army says 55% of "customers" (1.87m people) on Puerto Rico have no drinking water, up from 44% (1.5m) in the past four days.”
I may be wrong here but it seems the recovery is going the wrong way. And I’m not blaming the army. I’m blaming that fool in the White House for not sending enough of the army to do what they can do and what needs to be done.
There is no excuse for this. And the fault is all on trump and no one else.

“On Fox FEMA Administrator Brock Long says hurricane relief for Puerto Rico is “the most logistically challenging event the US has ever seen”
For crying out loud Puerto Rico is not on the moon. We have a navy that knows how to sail in “big water”. We have big cargo planes. We have helicopters. We have a huge army.
We are not a third world country.
Do your damn job and quit whining!

“Every @potus tweet on Puerto Rico has been about how great he and his team are and how naysayers are scum. Nothing supportive for victims.”
Can’t argue with that.

From Face the Nation....
“On the GOP tax plan: @speakerryan says it will be deficit neutral after economic growth is factored into the equation”
This has never really worked in the past why should it work now? Especially since the corporations will invest in technology which usually leads to job cuts.

“Nazis in street. 9 million children lose health insur. Dengue fever & death in Puerto Rico. Nuclear saber rattling. America is great again?”
The 9M children lose health insurance is reference to a Federal funded program providing health care to children that has to be renewed periodically. Congress let it expired.
Sad about what he said, but he is right.

Rep Joe Kennedy III
“Programs GOP Congress let expire last night -healthcare for low-income kids -Community health centers -Loans for low-income college students”
Betcha if it was some tax cut that was going to expire the GOP would have fallen all over themselves to make sure it didn’t happen.

From AP...
BRANCHBURG, N.J. (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and Puerto Rico (all times local):
6:20 p.m.
President Donald Trump says he’s dedicating the Presidents Cup golf trophy to the people of Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida still recovering from recent hurricane devastation.
Trump also says of Puerto Rico: “We have it under really great control.”
Earlier Sunday, Trump dismissed those he calls “politically motivated ingrates” who’ve questioned his administration’s commitment to rebuilding Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
The president spent much of the weekend at his New Jersey golf club and then attended the international golf competition near New York City.
Trump presented the trophy to Team U.S.A., the first sitting president to present the tournament’s winning team with a trophy.
The president says the players are “a tremendous group of folks” and calls them “great champions.”
I’m sorry but how is dedicating a golf trophey going to help the folks hit by the hurricanes ? Am I missing something here?

^ This is, admittedly, a really unimportant point, but I think it's the WINNERS of the trophy who get to dedicate it to others, not the guy handing over the trophy.
Good thing there's no prize money...
