The GOP Tax Bill: A Stealth Attack On Medicare And Social Security

[UCmeNdc]

Last night Chris Hayes ended "All In" with a discussion of the GOP Tax Plan. Economists David Cay Johnston and Stephanie Kelton agreed that if Republicans get their long-awaited wish and this budget-busting tax plan is enacted, the huge deficits it will create might not lead to the promised "growth" Steve Mnuchin insists will result.

What happens if Steve Mnuchin is wrong? Austerity budgets that cut into the heart of the biggest programs paid for out of the federal budget: Social Security and Medicare.

CHRIS HAYES: They are pushing this through before they can model out what the effects are. [Hayes reads this tweet.]

3. Republicans are domestic terrorists and foul thieves. We know this, they know this...

And just how we will survive this treachery is beyond the scope of thought and power for all of us whose money is being blatantly robbed and whose lives are being seriously threatened.
America has always had a dark and shameful side hidden beneath the flag waving but the soulless enabling of the worst of our citizens is reaching a point of no return.
Something has got to give soon or we will be devoured by our own terrorists and the world at large will have no recourse but to watch in astounding disbelief.
