    BOTH parties have caused this, not just the GOP. If I remember correctly, this defect didn't just spring into existence when Trump was elected.

    That is an estimate of what it may cost over a decade.  What it will cost remains to be seen, and many factors will come into play.

    CBS tells of three very different families that make between $40,000 and $300,000/year and who all thought they would pay more, but when an accountant was asked to check how this would affect them, all will benefit.

    AT&T is handing out $1,000 bonuses to 200,000 of its U.S. employees after lawmakers successfully passed tax reform on Wednesday.

    The Dallas-based telecom company also reiterated its promise to invest $1 billion in the country in 2018 if the bill is signed into law.

    The company will distribute the special bonus to union-represented, nonmanagement and front-line management employees.

    We were nearly $20 Trillion in debt when Trump took office.  As Zach said above...both parties share responsibility for that.

    Why blame the GOP?

    This has been an ongoing debt for ever.
