tax bill. house republicans breaking into cheers as the bill crossed the threshold needed for passage without a single democratic vote. >> this is about giving hard-working taxpayers bigger paychecks, more take home pay. this is about giving those families who are struggling peace of mind. it's about getting this economy to grow faster so we get bigger wages, more jobs, and we put america in the driver's seat and the global economy once again. >> what the bill is actually about is giving a massive tax cut to corporations once in a generation and wealthy individuals like donald trump. everyone else either gets a relatively small tax cut or somewhat amazingly, actually sees their taxes go up. last time house republicans passed a bill this big was in may, and the president held a big wildly premature party in the rose garden. remember that? we all know how that turned out. there was wisely no rose garden party this time around. as it bill must pass the senate, which, if passed would then need to be reconciled with the house bill.
