You obviously are cursed with reactionary thought...

Hundreds of billions re-distributed is good regardless of the minimal economic impact...
Hundreds of billions in tax cuts helps the fat cats disproportionately regardless of the more substantial economic impact...

The only path back to robust growth and prosperity is to stop this agenda dead in its tracks, and then by stages to reverse it.


This is the part that worries me.

Will the republicans sack up and fix it or chuckle and enjoy their newfound power while the sucker dems took the beating for it.
