    - They were only ever haggling over price. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 08:41
    - Though I think it was inevitable that tax cuts would win out over other factors, if not on this bill then another. - Roger More Dec 2, 08:31
    - I agree. The debt hawks should have killed this. They were bought off. When I was a conservative I remember National Debt being one of the pillars - Bacon Dec 2, 08:16 4
      - Precisely. Folks are already setting out the hypocrisy parade of Sens. Toomey, Cornyn, etc. At least Sen. Corker stood by his past commitments. - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 08:21 3
        
        If the Republicans of the 90s had gotten their Balanced Budget Amendment passed, this bill couldn't happen. Up is down, Left is Right, Thunderdome!! -- nm* - Bacon Dec 2, 08:24 2
        
        It's kind of mind boggling. I've been reading a biography of Sen. Mark Hatfield and a couple books on the history of the 1986 tax reform. - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 08:28 1
        
        Yep such a different era now -- nm - Bacon Dec 2, 08:35
  - Yes, the Republicans have a long history of cooperation since Nov 2016. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 2, 06:57 3
    - It's tax cuts for the super-rich, the GOP likes nothing more than that. -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 07:11 1
