  1. The $300+ increase in average refunds will surely cover the high prices brought on by the tariffs, any medical expenses from not being able to afford health insurance, the surge in gasoline prices caused by an ill conceived war and the millions spent on deporting immigrants who were paying their way and supporting their communities. Great job old white Republican guys!

    Why not report on the massive decrease in taxes for the ultra wealthy who were the real beneficiaries of the tax bill?

    Let your kids and grandkids know about the debt we’re sending their way to pay.
