Senate GOP leaders took a key step toward advancing President Donald Trump’s multi-trillion-dollar agenda in Congress — simultaneously setting off an intraparty war over how to pay for it

The plan is pretty simple. Raise taxes on the poor and middle class via traiffs to "pay" for lower taxes for the 1%

Pay for it? But Trump’s bigly genius tariff plan is going to pay for everything. Trump knows more than anyone about playing the financial markets. Just look at the raging success* he made of his casinos. *utter dumpster fire

The war won't last. This war is really being waged by the wealthy. The end goal is in sight. They will pay any price to influence the outcome. A few million thrown to each voting congressman will seal the deal. That's peanuts to these people.

Have to admit, blowing up an already impressive deficit whilst dollar looks likely to be dropped as Reserve currency and trade is in decline is definitely 'brave'* * other words are available.

Adding $5 trillion to the deficit while an incompetent president is purposefully destroying generational wealth is a recipe for economic disaster.

Dear Senate GOP, GOP in general. Read the room. The world hates Trump. Like LOATHES him. By connection the world hates you. I mean HATES you. Do something positive. Do something FOR the American people, the people you serve. Turn your back on Trump. You know very well he will turn his back on you.

Trump never worries about how to pay for things, he just lies on his taxes, commits insurance fraud, in order to get another loan, or just flat out not pay...like he has done to so many contractors, all the states he held rallies for police support, or file bankruptcy repeatedly. He is a con-man.

Trump stuck the American people with $8.4 Trillion to the National Debt, yet has made no effort to pay down the National Debt he created, while pushing Republicans to pass a huge tax break for the rich, by eliminating Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Check his pockets for your wallet.

Just perfect. Squander TRILLIONS of dollars in retirees’ and everyday people’s savings, cut critical services for those who need them, and give the very wealthy more. Disgusting.

The GOP aims to bankrupt the average American, make all but the wealth suffer and, in particular, expose children, seniors and the disabled to food insecurity and health decline.

I'm sorry, was Cory Booker still too tired from his PRACTICE filibuster to actually do it when it actually mattered?! Because the GOP passed this the way they did, final passage will bypass the filibuster and can be passed by a simple majority. Well done Democrats, well done.
