Keillor writes: "Now we have a totally Christian president, an awesome and amazing man, a very good man, who has done more for the faith in the past fourteen months than all of the other forty-four presidents combined, and who, as a result, has suffered more attacks from slimeballs than anybody but has stayed the course and done the right thing, no collusion with the devil at all, no collusion, none, it's a witch hunt and which hunters those are I think you know - crooked Democrats."

TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE WEEKLY WASTEBASKET

Image
Bipartisan Budget Debacle Weekly Wastebasket | Feb. 9, 2018 WEEKLY WASTEBASKET Bipartisan Budget Debacle Congress has usually at least come up with sham offsets to counter the costs. This time they didn’t even bother with that nicety. Budget & Tax ,  Featured    |  Quick Take Feb 9, 2018    | 5 min read | Print Article It should have been easy, but Congress didn’t like the budget caps they set for themselves in the Budget Control Act of 2011. They’ve done this before. In fact, since fiscal year 2012 they have never lived under the caps, amending them in the American Taxpayers Relief Act of 2012, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. But this time was different. In the past, Congress had the budgetary shame (dignity?) to come up with at least sham offsets to counter the costs. This time they didn’t even bother with that nicety. Instead they loaded the package with other taxpayer giveaways...

Progressive Breakfast: Trump’s General Just Announced a New Cold War. Who Will Stop It?

Image
MORNING MESSAGE Richard Eskow Trump’s General Just Announced a New Cold War. Who Will Stop It? Defense Secretary James Mattis announced a dramatic shift in military policy last week, and it threatens to plunge the world into new forms of conflict. Mattis is not a “Mad Dog,” as his nickname suggests. He's a rational and articulate spokesperson for the national security ideology that has dominated American political life since the end of World War II. That’s disturbing in a very different way. WH Floats Demands On Immigration Deal Trump’s Immigration Concession Sets High Price for Democrats. Bloomberg: “The administration Thursday night proposed giving 1.8 million undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children a path to citizenship in exchange for drastically reducing family-based migration, a $25 billion trust fund for a border wall, stepped-up security at ports of entry, and stricter internal enforcement. The framework is, in effect, a bottom line for the ...

Progressive Breakfast: Lifelong Wage Warrior Larry Mishel Takes On Trump’s Tax Scam

Image
MORNING MESSAGE Isaiah J. Poole Lifelong Wage Warrior Larry Mishel Takes On Trump’s Tax Scam Lawrence Mishel, the outgoing President of the Economic Policy Institute, is finally – after 30 years at the progressive economic research organization – seeing one of his wishes come true. Leaders in both major political parties are talking about wage stagnation, and how to address it. The bad news is the stagnant wages conversation is being co-opted by the GOPs to sell tax cuts that primarily benefit corporations and the wealthy. "Changing the economy is "a matter of organizing and policy and mobilization," says Mishel. "That work won't be easy," he says, but "the people can win." House, Senate Gird For Tax Votes Congress Poised to Approve Biggest Tax Overhaul in 30 Years. Reuters: “The Republican-controlled U.S. Congress will begin voting on Tuesday on the biggest overhaul of the U.S. tax system in more than 30 years, with little standi...
