Also, presumably republicans like me Zeldin think the proposed tax cuts are going to stimulate investments that eventually will stimulate the economy enough to help poor people compensate for the cuts by buying insurance with their own newly-increased money just the way they buy our terrific US postal service and interstate highways. Is this the argument? We should know. And is it being discussed and questioned locally? Is anyone working through how fast and how effectively this might work — or sputter– for poor people servicing the district’s resort crowd, not to mention other groups in D1?

There, the Brownback experiment with trickle down tax cuts has practically bankrupted the State and led to a state congressional revolt against his practices. (There is an earlier post here concerning the Kansas experiment.) Is this being questioned locally? — not that I know of and I wish that there was a more prominent light shined on this than our local blog. Nor is anyone shouting from the rooftops that some 61,000 Suffolk residents are likely to lose healthcare under the House proposal — numbers aren’t in yet on the effects of the Senate bill.
