This is absolutely great, the Republicans now own the Senate and the House. So they now get to put the money of the rich friends who bought them where their mouth is with things like the national debt, deficit spending, infrastructure repairs, school funding, Social Security repair, ACA, etc. Tax increase to pay the bills? This, of course, if campaign promises mean anything.

You may note their first concern was lowering corporate tax rates. Should be a hint how the bill-paying will go. The rich got what they paid for, Americans got what they voted for, good luck with that.

Ted Cruz in 2016, anyone?
