My gut says the bill will pass, but I'd prefer it did not.
It's unclear to me whether the "deficit hawks" who oppose the current bill will be more moved by (or countenance being perceived so) the need for a political "win" than they will be by their commitment to curtailing deficit spending.

After hearing Mark Levin rant and rave over how contradictory this bill is
to Conservative principles of lowering taxes for everyone and reducing govt,
it seems that if it passes, it may be because it has the added filler pork to feed the corporate hogs.
Similar to how Obama had to buy votes, and "feed the corporate pigs" where the ACA did not
meet the actual goals intended, but just served as "passing something to legitimize
his presidency and claim he effectively did what he promised to do"

the difference is
(a) the Democrats PASSED their loaded crap
(b) the Republicans are only trying to GET RID of what Democrats have passed
So they are still acting in a "passive" role of REACTING to what the other group has done.
Even if both sides fail and end up losing office,
it still remains that the Democrats get their crap passed and Republicans are just reacting to that.
If they fail to remove it, they still are going to get kicked out, so they lose either way.
The Democrats are still divided as a party over the Clinton/Sanders workers' split with the unions.
But the damage is already done by Obama. Now both parties are stuck in division where they
can't agree what to replace what with! So the Democrat sword is still stuck in the wound
and there is no united leadership to call to remove it.
This is why you don't pass unconstitutional legislation that the govt had no authority to regulate in the first place.
There is a reason govt is not supposed to regulate areas of personal liberty and decision
because people cannot agree nationally on policies that affect our individual choices that are as DIVERSE as we are.
Mistake to begin with. That's why the Constitution was written to wisely limit the authority of federal govt to keep it OUT of
affairs of people and states decided locally and individually. Big fat duh!
As for the simplest way to fix tax bills and ending conflict over who pays what for which programs:
the mandates should be made optional, and also allow separate choices of ALL tax policies
that touch on conflicting areas of "political beliefs" so taxpayers have an equal CHOICE of
"which plan to fund." That way, both major parties can manage social programs for their
own members based on AGREED collective taxes and terms, and NOT interfere with other
people's rights and beliefs to organize, run and fund their OWN social programs through their OWN parties.
And just deduct the business or charity expenses from taxes, and manage social programs locally by group or by state.
What I would recommend, based on parties' political beliefs their members may agree to fund voluntarily:
* Let the Democrats deduct investments from taxes to invest in prison and mental health reform
and use those resources and facilities to provide medical education and service programs for "universal health care."
* Let Republicans take on VA reform, and expand those services to provide for veteran, elderly and disabled care.
* The Greens, workers unions and socialists can take on schools and immigration detention to
create workers coops, production facilities, workstudy jobs, and other safe supervised construction
jobs to develop the border as sustainable campus towns combining education, training, jobs and services
for residents enrolled LEGALLY while screening out criminals with records for which they owe restitution.
* Libertarians and Constitutionalists can focus on democratizing a grand jury and grievance process
by which all citizens can access, issue and resolve complaints of govt abuses at all levels from local to national.
In order to finance the corrections and the work in reform, reconstruction and development,
it will take teams to asses the debts and damages done by govt and corporate abuses at taxpayer expense,
and work out fair proportionate settlement plans for wrongdoers to pay back the public costs they incurred,
while holding property and programs as collateral to lend against these debts in order to track the credits
owned to taxpayers, and apply that credit toward financing the corrections and reforms until the debts are paid back.

people in 30 states kicked Hillary to the curb, told her to go to hell, told liberals to fuck off, and voted Trump president, including people in 3 blue states.
