It's really a 4.7 trillion dollars give away to billionaires if they pass a bill for 10 years. If they make the billionaire tax cuts permanent then that 4.7 billion dollar give away is much muck higher.

2 trillion dollars in spending cuts means that the social safety net has to be gashed.

None of this will reduce the deficit, it will add to it which means the sole purpose is to transfer wealth from the bottom up.

Here we go again with the Horse and Sparrow economic plan; Feed the horse more oats and the sparrows will have plenty to eat.

I am not an economist but I expect to see a recession by year's end.
