As the utter chaos that erupted as lawmakers struggled to write a year-end bill to fund the government demonstrated, the GOP has a tenuous grip on the House. President-elect Donald Trump has a penchant for chaos. And Republicans are at odds over a long list of issues, beginning with whether they should take up tax first this year or immigration.
If Republicans decide to pay for at least some of their plans, the question then becomes who’s a winner and who’s a loser — and that’s something seemingly everyone is already focused on, from Capitol Hill, to K Street and beyond.
Republicans have already offered a long list of possibilities: higher tariffs, increasing the college endowment tax, cutting green energy credits, rescinding IRS funding, cutting other government spending, among many others.
There’s a chicken-and-egg quality to the debate though, because it’s hard to know how much they need to raise when they haven’t decided how much to spend. And lawmakers will be subject to furious lobbying by those worried they’re on the menu.
Seems like hard and harsh days ahead for America...
So much money will be spent deporting millions of illegal immigrants, and if in 2029 Democrats win/cheat the election, they will simply bring everyone back.
