With any luck Reps will shut down the government to make the Dems look bad for being obstructionists.


You know that really doesn't work when the GOP has a stranglehold on every branch of the government, right?

Republicans were called obstructionists in 2009-2010, only difference is the Democratic party had a Filibuster-proof Senate.

Oh and that Democrats usually don't break rank unlike most Republicans. They're phenomenal at holding the party line.

Oh yeah, the glory years where the conservative stalwart Tip O'Neill oversaw the House for Reagan...

This would raise my taxes by a substantial amount b/c I deduct my state income taxes (10% of my salary).

I think I'd be in the group they aim to be unaffected since my wife and I are like 10k above the new standard deduction.

Might even see an increase.

Not particularly. With wealth inequality where it is we don't need to keep shifting the tax burden onto lower brackets who increasingly have issues affording it.
