    I honestly didn't think Trump would try to deny that. I do love those Senators going with "I don't recall". lol

    Republican tax plan could lead to wave of new factory closures

    Well, yeah. That's what happens when you pass a tax law rewarding companies for offshoring workers.
    Say what you will about the Republican Party, but they are ruthlessly efficient when it comes to screwing American workers: The now-passed Republican tax bill comes with big incentives for American manufacturers to close their U.S. plants and relocate them overseas.

    Under the new law, income made by American companies’ overseas subsidiaries will face United States taxes that are half the rate applied to their domestic income, 10.5 percent compared with the new top corporate rate of 21 percent. [...]
    What could be more dangerous for American workers, economists said, is that the bill ends up creating a tax break for manufacturers with foreign operations. Under the new rules, beyond the lower rate, companies will not have to pay United States taxes on the money they earn from plants or equipment located abroad, if those earnings amount to 10 percent or less of the total investment.

    The Times piece obligingly attempts to rebut its own premise with notes that "supporters contend" that won't happen; this would be a more sustainable position if past Republican tax cuts had not similarly resulted in new rounds of offshoring and corporate cash-hoarding. But we were there, and they did.

    What Republican voters will think of this, when factory jobs continue to shrivel up in the next few years as cash-rich corporations choose to take advantage of Republican efforts to encourage outsourcing U.S. jobs, remains to be seen. No doubt the television commercials will blame “immigrants.”

    I think he was referring to Trump’s comments there. The president didn’t understand that people that aren’t black are on food stamps.

    The curious case of Paul Ryan’s evaporating courage
    He used to call out Trump’s racist comments. Now he doesn’t.
    By Dylan Matthews@dylanmatt[email protected] Jan 12, 2018, 3:50pm EST
    [​IMG] Zach Gibson/Getty Images
    On June 2, 2016, Donald Trump, then the presumptive Republican nominee for president, told the Wall Street Journal that he didn’t think Judge Gonzalo Curiel could oversee two lawsuits targeting Trump University. Curiel is “of Mexican heritage,” Trump noted. “I’m building a wall. It’s an inherent conflict of interest,” he said.

    House Speaker Paul Ryan was outraged. “I regret those comments that he made,” Ryan told reporters. “I don’t think — claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sorta the textbook definition of a racist comment. I think that should be absolutely disavowed. It’s absolutely unacceptable.”

    On January 11, 2018, during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators on immigration, now-President Trump asked, of Haiti, El Salvador, and a number of African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

    If the Curiel remarks were “the textbook definition of a racist comment,” it is hard to argue how this is not. If anything, it’s more overtly and grotesquely bigoted.

    Paul Ryan did not call the remarks racist. He did not call them unacceptable. Instead, he declared that saying black and brown people come from “shitholes” is “very unfortunate, unhelpful.” Today, apparently, textbook racist remarks are merely inconvenient, counterproductive.

    It’s not an original observation to note that Paul Ryan has degraded himself in service of Donald Trump. Nor is it reasonable to suggest that the 2016 Paul Ryan, the Paul Ryan who could call Trump a racist when Trump said something racist, was somehow truly resisting Trump.

    In the same press conference where he condemned Trump, Ryan was sure to add, “Do I believe that Hillary Clinton is the answer? No, I do not,” and that Republicans “have more likelihood of getting our policies enacted with him than we do with her.” Even then he was very clearly willing to tolerate a presidential nominee who he knew was a racist, who he said publicly was a racist, in order to enable the enactment of his preferred economic policies.But Ryan’s response to the “shithole” remarks is as clear a sign as any that the terms of his deal with Trump have changed.

    The end of even token congressional Republican resistance
    Before Trump took office, Ryan was able to criticize Trump’s racism harshly while continuing to ally with him for the greater cause of cutting health care benefits and corporate tax rates. Now he no longer does.

    This is not because Trump has somehow become less racist or less worthy of condemnation. Just read my colleague German Lopez’s comprehensive rundown of all of Trump’s racist comments and actions for corroboration.

    Or look at the remarks NBC News reported shortly after the “shithole” story broke. Trump repeatedly asked a Korean-American CIA analyst where she was “really” from; she kept telling him Manhattan, and when she finally mentioned being Korean-American, Trump asked why she wasn’t working on North Korea. When a black member of Congress told him that his proposed welfare cuts would harm her constituents, “not all of whom are black,” Trump replied, “Really? Then what are they?”

    Nor would it suffice to say that these are just words. Trump has not only condemned immigration from black and brown “shithole” countries, he has backed legislation to cut legal immigration by half, which would go a long way toward his goal of keeping those “shithole” people out. Trump’s Justice Department, led by a man whose nomination to the federal judiciary was blocked by civil rights groups for his record of racist comments, has pointedly refused to crack down on local police departments that engage in unprovoked violence against black men.

    You could concoct race-neutral rationales, or rationalizations, for these policies if you really wanted to. But at some point it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that a president who has repeatedly said he doesn’t like black and brown people is pursuing policies that hurt black and brown people because he feels genuine antipathy toward them.

    When Paul Ryan saw evidence of this in June 2016, he was alarmed. He called Trump a racist and condemned him in clear terms. But now Trump has shown that he can give Ryan tax cuts. That he could give Ryan another conservative Supreme Court justice. And now, curiously, Ryan appears to lack that same fervor.
