we dont want the tax bill to go through, Corker is actually going to save us. unless I am wrong if the tax bill fails then the jumpstart 2.0 also fails. This means mnuchin can act unilaterally.
Sorry but to think that is to have a big personal ego that it has something to do with something related to you
Corker hates the President
Corker knows what we all know - that this cut in taxes is not needed when corporate profits have grown for 7 years and unemployment has fallen for 7 years.
Corker knows that supply side - laffer curve - theories are bunk and this cut will increase the debt by 10%
Corker votes no
(He was ready to vote yes with triggers that when the debt grew would raise taxes but that does not fit with the type of vote that requires only 50 votes plus the VP and was not available as an answer)
