The Republicans appear to have finally figured out that they actually do control all of the government and can therefore do whatever they want. It only took them all year.
This is the most radical piece of legislation to go through congress in decades. It will fundamentally shift the balance of power, opportunity, and wealth into the hands of an already dangerously entrenched elite caste of oligarchs. It is pretty much a death knell to what is left of Medicaid and Social Security and a host of other vital federal government functions we've come to take for granted. Besides blowing things up, of course. There will still be money for that. It's impossible to overstate the catastrophic damage this tax bill will cause.
Meanwhile, in another dimension, #Resistance people are celebrating the Michael Flynn plea. But the whole Trump Administration could be in jail by January and none of it matters once this bill passes. It's all a big Mission Accomplished.
