I will say, the tax cuts scare me.
Killing ACA would have made millions of people suffer, but I am pretty certain the Republicans would have been massacred in the next election. I’m also pretty certain they realized it to, which is part of why it failed.
With the tax cuts, I am not so certain. The damage is huge, but it’s over the long term. In the short term, I’m not at all confident that the populace will suffer enough to make the Republicans pay the price. And by the time the populace is well and truly paying the price, it’ll be some different government in power that’ll get blamed.
All of this meaning they’ve got every incentive to pass the damn thing.
