A ferocious advertising campaign is underway with passage of President Donald Trump’s landmark policy bill hanging in the balance, as political groups and business interests spent at least $35 million just this month to try to sway key members of Congress and their constituents.

In my head,and the way I see it. All of them are committing TREASON. Why? They took an oath to our constitution not a president. Trump is a convicted criminal,and absolutely a clear,and present to our country.

We are witness the death of a Republic. It's one thing to make necessary cuts to reduce the Massive DEBT, it's an entirely different thing to then take those savings and nullify them by making the rich richer with tax cuts while America drowns in debt that will eventually go bust.

We need cuts to public spending, just not in this way. The rich and elite need to pay more, equally we need to address the welfare culture, at minimum making sure only those in need are receiving help. Address corruption in healthcare. Private profit from healthcare should be abolished.

The tax cut from his first term did NOT have the positive effects he had hoped. Notice how there is no promise of higher wages or better economy. Congress and the WH know it is horrible for "the people" but great for less then .02%. This bill would devastate millions to benefit a few.
