Re: Opposition to the bill has grown 10 points since early November, and 55% now oppose it. Just 33% say they favor the GOP's proposals to reform the nation's tax code.

McDonalds makes jobs but they ain't the jobs you need more of.

The economy is currently at or about full employment (full employment isn't zero, although many think it is), but there's hardly any wage-related inflation.

So it kinda sounds like the new jobs are paid less than the old ones.

Damn. That sucks. You can't make a growth economy out of burger flippers. At some point, all you get is more bad food, while the code is written for peanuts in India.

I agree.

Those supporting this scheme claim this will create jobs.
That's bogus.
You know what creates jobs, supply & demand.
Unfortunately, we are a consumer based economy. There comes a time when people don't need or want 'stuff', at least at the volume we used to consume.

I could see reducing corporate tax, some.
But they didn't even close the loopholes! so they get a win-win...

Why didn't any of them consider giving a tax credit to take care of your sick & ailing relatives, at home?
The greatest drain for many families is this issue.
