As to the "writing" of the tax bill, perhaps you're unaware of it, but ALL tax legislation is effectively "written" by the staff of the JCT under the direction of the JCT, as people who understand the interaction of various code sections well enough to write the law. The administration does not, EVER, write tax law. You may want to let "those in the know" know that.
As I understand it, proposed bills are outlined by the sponsoring party, the president's or the congressperson's legislative staff and then the JCT cleans it up and makes it legal. When I said the bill was poorly written, I didn't mean literally.....I meant the concept was not well thought out. And I still stand on that comment.
His economic policies are pretty non existent or ineffectual as evidenced by the recent firings of his Sec. of the Treasury, the head of the SEC, and his economic advisor.
Perhaps you could contrast the economic policy of the current administration with that of, for example, the previous administration? What exactly has this president done or not done that is different from what the previous administration did?
If you don't get it after the firings of Lindsey, Pitt and O'Neill, I certainly am not going to waste more time trying to explain to you. You believe what you want to believe.
They are not exaggerated; he is a racist.
The argument that Lott or other Republicans are racists is hollow. One need only look at the president's cabinet to determine whether, in fact, Republicans are racist.
Hollow? Really? Well, I am afraid others do not agree. And if you don't believe me, check out the scorecard prepared by the NAACP re the Rep. candidates for Majority Leader.
BTW, while no one is accusing the president, two key people does not make for a equal opportunity administration.
Lott goofed. And he is losing his job over it. Byrd goofed. He still has his. That pretty much tells the story about where the racists are in politics.
Lott goofed? I see. He admitted he was racist by mistake. Is that how it works in the Rep. party? You pretend not to be racist except when you're around other Reps........then you kind of let your hair down........if you have any? Actually, I know the answer to that question.......so don't bother to respond.
As for Lott losing his job and Byrd not losing his, what job did Byrd not lose because of his racist comments?
