Kristi Noem is using her two weeks of unearned early vacation to tout a non-accomplishment:
ICYMI>>Last week, the House PASSED Tax Reform 2.0. This legislation helps ensure that the upward economic trajectory we’ve experienced through tax cuts becomes a permanent culture of growth and stability rooted in our tax code. Learn more: https://t.co/14THiKU6gr

“ICYMI”—no, I didn’t miss the House’s tax vote. I didn’t miss the fact that it was designed mostly to provide you and other desperate Republican incumbents with some campaign fodder. And I didn’t miss the fact your showboat bill is destined to sink in the Senate:
The “Tax Reform 2.0” legislation isn’t what House Republicans had hoped it would be. The bill was an attempt to freshen up their premier legislative achievement ahead of the midterm elections and use it against Democrats. It was always seen as a political exercise, since it has no real prospects of becoming law.
…“This bill is going nowhere and they know it,” Representative Peter King, a New York Republican opposed to the cap on the so-called SALT deduction, said his party’s House leadership. “It’s politically bad. It’s a cheap shot at places like New York and New Jersey” [Laura Davison, “House Advances New Tax-Cut Bill, But Senate Has No Plans to Act,” Bloomberg, 2018.09.28].
ICYMI, Kristi, the chairman of House Ways and Means (you remember, the committee you abandoned House Agriculture for, because you planned to pay so much attention to the budget and have such great influence?) admitted the tax bill you’re touting is all for show:
Kevin Brady of Texas, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, has acknowledged that his plan to pass the legislation out of the House now isn’t likely to lead to anything reaching Trump’s desk imminently.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell “has told me directly that when he sees 60 votes available for that provision, that’s when he’ll make a decision,” Brady said [Laura Davison, “Tax Cut 2.0 Push Seen Ending in Whimper, But There’s Always 2025,” Bloomberg, 2018.09.27].
Tax Cuts 2.0 and Kristi Noem: both all for show.
Kristi’s own leadership makes her look awfully stupid.
Debbo,
You don’t know anything about tax cut 1.0. You are the stupid one.
Another false statement from Jason, attempting to steer the debate from discussion of Noem’s obvious falsehood toward instead personal bickering among commenters, a tactic used by the Russian social media hackers of the 2016 election.
Debbo does know about the opening tax cuts. She knows that the 2017 Trump/Noem tax cuts have not produced the groundswell of support that Trump and Noem thought they would for Republicans.
Cory, you shouldn’t attack Jason because you don’t think Debbo has the skill set to defend herself. When you patronize a woman you are showing a lordliness position above her dimishing her standing. You are showing support for a very androcentric culture.
Help me Debbo.
OS practices Jason’s Russian tactics with more meta-discussion (risibly satirizing left-wing talking points that he doesn’t believe) that tacitly acknowledges his inability to refute the points of public interest that I made about Kristi Noem’s misrepresentation of her showboat vote last week for a bill that will go nowhere as an actual achievement.
Cory,
Have you informed Debbo how much the tax cut will save you and every other small business owner?
Is Al advertising that you are against tax cut 1.0? Why don’t you tell the voters in your district the truth on a big billboard?
OS, you don’t need my help making an ass of yourself. You’re managing just fine.
As for Jason, if I cared even the tiniest iota what his opinion of me is, I might be offended. I’m not. 😊
Jason,
Nobody really knows how the new tax policy affects us until we go through a whole cycle with the new deduction changes. Even a monthly pay check change means nothing until the final bill is settled – elimination of deductions will cost me more in taxes and I have no real feel for how that will or will not be off set with increasing other deductions.
Objectivly, only GOP shills are making the claim of this being a huge boon for anyone other than the rich; and as economic policy, is a $Trillion budget buster (again, that is not a $trillion going to the middle class) for “someone” to pay down the road.

This is your economy. This is yer economy on wingnuts. Debt, debt and more debt because the taxcuts are not going to pay for themselves and wingnuts can’t help but spend like drunken sailors and not raise revenues to pay for their spending orgies.
Next time a wingnut, any wingnut, says taxcuts raise more revenues, kick them (doesn’t matter if they are male or female) in their gonads.
If the taxcuts were a winning issue for wingnuts they’d be campaigning on them instead of running away from them.
And, Trolls, where are the $4000 raises Drumpf and others promised workers would get if the taxcuts were passed? Don’t give me the bs nobody promised 4 grand raises because we just went through this a week or so back and I provided all kinds of reports of Drumpf and others promising 4 grand raises for workers.
mfi, the $4,000.00 lie was pulled out of trump’s neither region. The toilet paper is still stuck on his shoe. There will be no savings in the tax scam either. All lies.
0,
It’s not that hard. All a business owner has to do is take their net income times 20% to find out their deduction.
