PL 115-97 (Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, sic)
We really needed tax reform. Instead we got HR-1, absurdly labeled as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, plus the Senate version of that same bill,. As I promised, they wouldn’t be passed as proposed (that would have been EVEN worse, they have been reconciled. And , TheDonald has signed the final version, so it’s the law of the land. PL 115-97.
Blame the Messenger????
