Tax and Appropriations

Remember when Speaker Ryan believed Congress has a “moral — and legal — obligation to propose and pass budgets?”

Yesterday, Republicans left town after once again kicking the can down the road and failing to address the priorities of the American people.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Lowey. Here we are again, Mr. Speaker.

Hanukkah just came to a close, we are four days from Christmas, and we are nine days from the end of the year. And much of the work this Congress needs to do isn’t done. And so we find ourselves some 36 hours from shutting down our government.

There are a lot of bad headlines for the GOP this morning after they had to postpone the release of their tax bill due to deep disagreements amongst themselves, but they probably really hate this one:

You don’t say… the night before the GOP’s big bill they’re planning to jam through the legislative process comes out and they’re making last minute changes and scrambling for votes?
 

Before Republicans release their tax bill tomorrow, they might want to take a look at this NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll out today.

Similar to their TrumpCare efforts, House Republicans are once again trying to jam a partisan bill through Congress without any input from the American people.
