I'm not saying that it's the only thing or the only reason, but you do know that the Paul Ryan led "tax cut" that was permanent for big businesses and temporary for regular folks was rigged to gradually force us to pay back our part of the break we got right on cue for the next few years, right?
I can't remember where it got posted, but even when it passed by a GOP-led Congress, they were talking about how it would screw people over long term. But everyone was just so happy to get some extra money upfront, and now they're acting like they have short memories about it.
