Trump's TCJA tax-cuts for corporations and the rich do not appear to have achieved their claimed purpose of significantly increasing aggregate investment, according to a Brookings Institute analysis. Thus, "moderately raising the corporate tax rate would not adversely affect the economy" and "Cutting the tax rate even more now would create substantial federal revenue losses that largely finance windfall gains to business owners who have already made investments."

Alexander Smirnov has confessed that he lied about the Biden's receiving pay-offs from Burisma. Somehow, I doubt that Republicans are likely to back off on their claims even though the one who first made them has admitted that they were lies created with the help of Russian agents.

"The price for a single medicine can range by thousands of dollars depending on the drug plan."
The law should require that medical services, products, and pharmaceuticals are offered at a single price to all buyers. Drugs should be like hamburgers: One price for all.

When every buyer negotiates a different price, those with more negotiating power pay less and those will less power pay more. Thus, small insurers and the uninsured subsidize the larger insurers. Not fair!
