America died tonight. Economic suicide adopted to feed the insatiable greed of donors, who have been refusing to dole out $ to GOP until they got their tax cuts. Voters fooled by propaganda and tribal hatred.

Millenials: move away if you can. USA is over. We killed it.
The person happiest about the tax bill: Kim Jung Un. We pay for war, we go deeper into a hole we can’t climb out of. And just like Iraq and Afghanistan, the GOP will refuse to raise taxes to pay for war.

So, suddenly, our debt and deficits - which Republicans have been screaming about for at least 30 years - are a priority? This is nothing more than patently, painfully, blatant politics. The last President, who Eichenwald loves, helped double that debt in less than a decade. Liberals never bothered to sound the "America died" alarm then, because their guy was in office and he was working to grow the left-wing God. Only when the government dares to let you keep even a little bit more of what you earn do the progressive crackpots lose control of their verbal diarrhea. Want another example? According to the New York Times editorial board (as tweeted by an MSNBC producer) letting you keep a few more dollars amounts to "a historic heist."How China can destroy America tomorrow:

"Hey, nice tax cuts. So, umm...we have decided to destroy you. We're not buying any more of your debt. Sure, will cause global wreckage. But our people will have to weather it and cannot object. Then, ur gone and we're only global power."
NYT Editorial Board calls the GOP tax bill a “heist”: “No amount of prevarication can change the fact that Congress and Mr. Trump are giving a giant gift to their donors and sticking the rest of the country with the tab.” https://t.co/xpDoQ0v9vB

Historians will look back on Dec. 1, 2017 and conclude this was one of the great robberies in US history because Republicans are looting the Treasury.

Someone alert the authorities: Senate Republicans are looting the Treasury. I’m live now speaking about the Republican tax bill: https://t.co/pcPrFdrc8K

...So it's probably a good first step. Just imagine the meltdown we'll see should the final bill pass after reconciliation.The Republican Party is the enemy of the American people. The Senate just passed the Trump Tax Increase, 1:50am, enriching the 1% & concentrating wealth in the hands of the few. Capitalism & Fascism. The coup is underway. Make no mistake about it. EVERYONE OFF THE BENCH! 11/6/18!
