Remember when Republicans dedicated most of their first year in power to trying to kill pre-existing conditions coverage while stripping millions of Americans of health care coverage? Then when they failed at that, they immediately turned their attention to giving mega tax cuts to America's big corporations along with multimillionaires and billionaires. That tax law resulted in: huge tax breaks for the richest one percent, who on average will save more than $51,000 on taxes this year while a family making between $48,600 and $86,100 will save $930; soaring deficits that Republicans are now using as an excuse to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; and an actual decline in real wages for real workers while corporations used the money they saved to buy back stock rather than invest in job-creating growth. Perfect. Anyway, Trump is now having a change of heart about all the policies Republicans devoted two years of unilateral control to enacting. Here’s his new midterm platform on health care and taxes: Republicans all support people with pre-existing conditions now, he says, even as 20 GOP attorneys general across the nation work to destroy it through litigation; Republicans will protect Social Security and Medicare, he says, even as GOP Leader Mitch McConnell lobbies for cutting both programs and more to pay for the tax cuts for the rich; Republicans will pass middle-class tax cuts by Nov. 1, he says, even though Congress is out of session. Huh, what do all those policies sound like to you? Yep, the policies of Democrats. And why—why would Trump suddenly adopt Democratic positions after governing in the complete opposite fashion for two full years? GET OUT THE VOTE for Democrats.
