I mean the TCJA was the most significant tax break for most Americans in over a decade.
Despite the “tax cuts for the rich” mantra. The TCJA helped families and the middle class. Did it help people who don’t pay income tax? No. Did it help people who make poor voting decisions on their state tax rates because they think for some reason the federal government should subsidize their bad policy? No.

I guess this makes you a moron. The affordable care act wasn’t passed via reconciliation. It was passed during the narrow window of the Democrats having 60 senators.

The system sucks. It never produces anything good, just more and more debt.
They try and put to much stuff in one bill. It’s almost impossible to get a clean bill passed
Would rather have 5 or 6 smaller bills with no riders than one big bill.

The ACA was not a reconciliation bill, and it was passed because Democrats had 60 Senators at the time.

So you don’t want to cut taxes for people who actually pay them.
You want to hand money to people who don’t.

Your deficit is based on CBO numbers which also calculate GDP growth at 1.8 percent. The last president who had a growth rate during their term of less than 2% was Herbert Hoover.
Concerned about the deficit, take out the cuts and watch the country go into recession.
It is tax cuts across the board upper and middle class. We have a progressive tax system, if the top 20% pay 80% of the taxes, when we have a tax cut, shouldnt the top 20% also get a cut? So its not a billionaire tax break as dems want to scream.
For the midterms we need to scream from the rooftops that dems as a whole are voting to tax the living shat out of you so they can continue to fund programs for illegals, pervert your kids in school and then mutilate them.

We need term limits in a big way.
Imagine a world where We The People can’t vote on term limits for these useless morons.

quote:during the legislative process for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a maneuver was employed where the text of a House-passed bill, the Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009 (H.R. 3590), was used as a vehicle to advance the ACA legislation in the Senate.
guess this makes you a moron
Here's how it generally worked:
Senate Democrats lacked the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster on their version of the health care reform bill.
To bypass this obstacle, Senate Democrats took the text of H.R. 3590, which had already passed the House and was pending in the Senate, and offered their ACA legislation as a comprehensive amendment that essentially replaced the entire text of the original bill.
This allowed the Senate to begin debate on the ACA text without needing to go through the usual process of bringing up a new bill, which would have been subject to a potential filibuster.
After the Senate passed its amended version of H.R. 3590, the bill was sent back to the House.
Due to the altered political landscape (specifically, the loss of a key Democratic Senate seat), Senate Democrats no longer had the 60 votes to overcome a filibuster if the House made further significant changes to the bill.
Therefore, the House ultimately agreed to pass the Senate's version of H.R. 3590 as-is to avoid sending it back to the Senate for another vote.
The Senate then used the reconciliation process (which requires only a simple majority vote) to pass a separate amendment bill that made certain changes to the version of H.R. 3590 that had been passed by the House.
These two pieces of legislation together, H.R. 3590 (as amended by the Senate and accepted by the House) and the reconciliation bill, collectively became known as the ACA or "Obamacare
