Tax follies

It looks like faux deficit outrage by a small number of republicans is all that stands in  the way of the latest redistribution plan by the GOP.  Bob Corker and Jeff Flake, neither of whom is running for office again are free to voice their inner deficit hawks, albeit not too loudly if they wish to feed at the wingnut welfare trough when they leave the Senate.  Their objections have put a speed bump in an otherwise smooth road to send more middle class money to the 1%.   This horrible tax bill is unpopular and opposed by economists, interest groups on both sides of the political divide and the general public, but aside from the aforementioned senators, there is no outrage in Congress.  This bill is a big wet kiss to the donor class.  I hope the "little people" realize there is strength in numbers and while it may be too late to kill this monstrosity, we can at least make the perps pay for it in 2018.
