I regularly referenced the national debt while working in the DOD…my colleagues didn’t like that. I’m also unsure as to what these “tax cuts” means to me with the SALT limitation. I won’t be surprised if I’ll incur a higher tax burden in 2018 even though there have been “cuts”. One hidden surprise that everyone will discover is that the fee you pay to have a professional tax preparer do you taxes…well, it’s no longer deductible…and many of us need a tax preparer because the IRS has created many forms that mere mortals simply don’t understand.

Thanks for the excellent research!

Will take time to read your writing and observations very
carefully. All Chinese Americans, whether born here or
not has been racially profiled like the Japanese Americans
during WWII and Muslims today. This has been standard procedure
of our government in the name of national security before Trump.

Give him some credit for pulling the cover off this dark side
of our democracy and society.

The big question is: what are we going to do about it. I think
everyone has an answer and none of them are going to end the division.

Thanks for this terrific two part post! Since I have several relatives who are Evangelical Christians who voted for Trump, I especially appreciated your reference to “Ordinary Men”. I just ordered the audio version of it and am looking forward to understanding more about how such (normally) “good people” (as long as we’re not born GLBT 😉 can be so easily convinced to support such very bad government policies.

Happy holidays!

Tim
