With Tax Day just around the corner, Donald Trump and his Republican allies in the House are desperate to hype up their big, ugly bill they passed last year. New reporting shows that the GOP House is considering a resolution praising their tax cuts from last year for billionaires and big corporations that came at the expense of working families. Americans aren’t fooled; everyone except the wealthiest of the wealthy has been harmed since the big, ugly bill passed, and polling shows that, nearly a year later, Trump’s cuts to health care and food assistance are still as unpopular as ever. Republicans are so devoid of accomplishments that they have to pass a resolution patting themselves on the back for a bill they passed a year ago – and which backfired spectacularly.

The GOP House of Representatives is considering a resolution this week expressing support for the tax provisions they passed last year as part of the big, ugly bill, which ripped away over $1 trillion from Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, food assistance, and more – kicking millions off health care and food aid to pay for lavish tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.
