  • Temporary Measures: Many tax cuts expire in 2028, creating fiscal cliffs.

Notes

  • Senate Outlook: Faces revisions; needs near-unanimous GOP support.

i posted the bill buddy did you read it? I dont know how long you've been around here but cutting and pasting DNC talking points from your actblue webpage to here is not going to work. people actually expect you to step outside the normal political BS and speak like you have formed your own opinion based on facts.

Now tell me why you think skyrocketing the national debt to give tax breaks to billionaires is great?

I understand that there is minor temporary tax breaks. I also understand that this bill is fiscally irresponsible and that attacking healthcare is going to have devasting consequences.
