It would:
• make deep cuts to SS, SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare--NO!!!

•Cripple the Judiciary by requiring expensive bonds to use their contempt powers. Contempt powers are necessary to rein in the president's corrupt powers-- NO!!!

•Make tax cuts for already wealthy people and corporations permanent. A family with an income of $5 million would get a tax break of an eye-popping $300,000!!!!
Most of us will never earn that much in a lifetime!!!
Totally UNFAIR!--NO WAY!!!

•give TAX CUTS to the rich and would add trillions to the deficit. That is crazy! I thought the republicans were deficit hawks--NO WAY!!!!"
