re: #229 Targetpractice

I beat you there months ago, I am not expecting an 11th hour save like with Trumpcare. The GOP are scared shitless of a bloodletting next year and so see this as their last real chance to get this boondoggle passed. Even if they lose big at the polls next year, enough of this bill is written such that it will impossible to dismantle it without a supermajority in both houses. And with Trump in the White House, there’s little chance of that before 2020. So what if the bill leads to a new recession and massive inequality? Their pockets are stuffed, their retirement jobs in the private sector are assured, so they don’t give a fuck.

Probably won’t lead to a new recession, but it won’t do anything to prevent the next cyclical downturn. But, yeah, it’ll really goose the already huge inequality in income and wealth.
