What a waste of time. Just so the GOP can say they did something this year. In the mean time, my health care costs DOUBLED from last year. I mean what the fuck? I don't need a tax cut. I need them to fix the damned broken Obamacare, which is the single biggest destruction of wealth the 99% are seeing right now. Our Congress on both sides of the aisle are so incredibly damned clueless as to what normal Americans are facing. How loud do we have to scream for them to fix health care? I can't tell you how pissed off I am that Obama pinned his legacy on that peace of shit and the GOP promised for 6 years to repeal and replace and then they couldn't get their heads out of their asses to fix it. I am sickened by both the Dems and the GOP in our government. They are all a bunch of loser incompetents.
