You're telling me they are willing to give up a ticket into the world's most exclusive club and all the perks that come with it. Money is nice; power is what gets them off.

Moreover, what they've done can be undone. You have to hold the reigns to keep it from happening.

No. It's obvious money is all they care about. That power gives them unlimited access to cash. Cash and Power while in office. If they have to leave it's golden parachute time. See Tim Pawlenty for context.

Kepler's explanation is even better.

Even WaPo over the weekend ran a story where 80+% of taxpayers will pay less. Less is less. The new tax law, to the average voter looks like, well, Randy will explain.

They'll pay less next year. In seven years when the temporary individual cuts phase out, we pay more.

Not to mention the whole ****ing over our kids thing.

They have shifted all the power from government to corporate boards and wealthy dynasties. Remember the study: the rich get every policy they want, the middle class only gets what happens to coincide with the rich's interests.

That is power.

And a D takeover changes the power dynamic.

The Rs want their tax law. But without retaining the power to protect the tax law it's worthless. It can be undone.

The Rs went for it: the tax law even at risk of being tied to Trump if he goes down. Bold, brave, insightful, or a swan dive into a dumpster fire.

Another way of looking at what you are asking, name one piece of legislation that is just wanted by the Rs other than this tax cut.

Just one.

That was not dump. That was fully R. That is exactly what every other state has done to undermine government. The only difference here is that a balanced budget isn’t required.

This concentrates power to the corporations farther than we have in about 100 years.

We never undid Reagan. We've been circling the drain for 37 years and the Dems never did anything but talk, even with a clean sweep and super-majorities.

The rot has set in.

So, are you inferring or implying that the Ds are part of "the heist"?

They've been out maneuvered and outgunned in Congress since Reagan. Obama tried one thing (Health Care) and it was such a legislative nightmare that it destroyed the party until Trump got elected. Republicans know how to use the minority and they know how to use the majority. Democrats don't.

Expect this to embolden them to start chirping "entitlement reform".

Why? They'll claim they're being "debt hawks". No, they're just trying to balance lower revenues after the fact.

The Ds had the trifecta a couple times, and nada. (See Kep's prior post.)

And I'll disagree: the Rs have no clue how to be the majority. Look at this current feces fest. They barely got something through holding the trifecta. But yes, they are highly adept at being the minority party (and there is some irony in there somewhere).

It's not that they don't know how to be the majority. It's that what they've done to get their majorities has created a monster that can't be controlled--except of course when there's a massive giveaway involved.

They got everything they wanted in one bill. The Tax Cut and the Destruction of Obamacare. Obamacare is dead with this legislation. Dead. Also, regulations are being whacked everywhere. That's 3rd on their list. The only thing they don't have now is caps on entitlement growth.

That's a problem for the Ds also. When they had the House their "party" seemed more "coalition" with the Cong. Black Caucus, the Blue Dogs, the Hispanic Caucus, the union focused folks, et al. It's tough to keep those interests all aligned and it hindered them.
