Question: Do you think the GOP will scrap the tax cuts for millionaires to pay for war on behalf of Israel? Or do you think the tax cuts go through anyway, and they tax US, cut more benefits, and put us into a deeper debt hole to pay for it?

They'll cut the VA benefits of the soldiers they send to fight for Israel

The Party of Debt will place all the country’s expenses squarely on the shoulders of the middle and lower classes. Impoverishing this country is in our enemies playbook.

That last bit. The “no wars” and “debt is bad” suddenly seems old fashioned and quaint. It’s back to repug values - more wars and tax the poors

We all know that it’s door #2. They don’t care about putting us into debt for war.

Given the deplorable decisions made thus far in this regime the worst case scenario is always the way they'll go.

More like like they will change the wording so when the takes breaks end for 95% of the country, most of our taxes will increase 10%+ to pay for it while the rich keep their breaks.

You’re not seriously asking that question, are you? You’re suggesting they might do something fiscally responsible in place of their greed to accomplish a goal? Tis to laugh.

The real. Question is do you think the republican party cares about the american people I don't think they do.They would rather give the huge tax cuts to their financial backers that backed their campaigns.That's all they care about

They'll push the tax cuts through for sure no matter what they have to do to get it done. Everything else is secondary. Everyone should be familiar with how this works by now.

The US likes incessant wars because it gives the lawmakers an excuse NOT to pass policies that help those that aren't wealthy. They will pass the tax cuts AND go to war. They never do anything for the greater good. Dems will inherit a mess to clean up as always.

I think Trump will raise the National Debt to $45 trillion instead of $40 trillion b/c there's no way he'll ditch his plan to give trillions in tax cuts to himself, his crime family, & other super-rich donors.
