Republicans Repeat Tax Cut Big Lie
Voodoo economics entails huge welfare payments to corporations and the already rich, in the disproved notion that their generosity will eventually benefit middle class Americans.
When the rich have more money, they will hire more workers -- and the result will be increased tax revenues that pay for the tax cuts.
Ronald Reagan proved it doesn't work.
George W. Bush proved it doesn't work.
Now Donald Trump is repeating the same lie and pretending it will work for him.

Mitch McConnell in 2005: 'The President Alone Nominates Judges'
"The Constitution of the United States is at stake. Article II, Section 2 clearly provides that the president, and the president alone, nominates judges. The Senate is empowered to give advice and consent. But my Democratic colleagues want to change the rules. They want to reinterpret the Constitution to require a super-majority for confirmation. In effect, they would take away the power to nominate from the president and grant it to a minority of 41 senators." -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in 2005, defending the absolute right of a sitting president to nominate judges.
This followed Democratic and Republican opposition to President George W. Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers, who served as his White House counsel.

Trump campaign insults NH voters' intelligence

Donald Trump is due in New Hampshire this evening. He will attract a large crowd. The crowds, the media coverage, and the polls have led him and some pundits to believe that he will win the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
That is an insult to the intelligence of Republican voters. Beginning right here in New Hampshire on Feb. 9, a great majority of them will disabuse him of that notion.
Much of the news media are lavishly covering Trump, not just because he’s good for ratings, but because he’s good for Hillary Clinton. They very much want Trump to be the Republican nominee so that Ms. Hillary can move back into the White House.
Trump can certainly be an entertaining character. He toys with TV journalists and dismisses critics with name-calling that drives the Politically Correct crowd insane. But his public descent into bathroom humor and verbal bullying has been painful, and educational, to watch.
According to Trump: John McCain accepted years of torture by the North Vietnamese but is not Trump’s type of “war hero.” Not that Trump ever served in the military. Carly Fiorina, meanwhile, doesn’t have the “face” Trump would want in the White House; and a reporter who questions a Trump falsehood is to be mimicked and mocked for his physical disability.
Trump has shown himself to be a crude blowhard with no clear political philosophy and no deeper understanding of the important and serious role of President of the United States than one of the goons he lets rough up protesters in his crowds.
He reminds us of the grownup bully “Biff” in the “Back to the Future” movie series. Lo and behold, the screenwriter says that he based Biff on Trump. On Feb. 9, we trust New Hampshire Republicans will send “Biff Trump” back to somewhere — anywhere but on the road to the most important elective office in the United States at a most crucial time for this nation.
