These full of shit sons of bitches:
Retiring Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker (R) said his vote on the GOP tax law could be one of the worst of his career if estimates that it will add $1.9 trillion to deficits over a decade prove correct.
“If it ends up costing what has been laid out here, it could well be one of the worst votes I’ve made,” he said at a Senate Budget Committee hearing on the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate that produced the figure.
“I hope that is not the case, I hope there’s other data to assist, whether it’s jobs or growth or whatever,” Corker added.
Corker voted against a version of the GOP tax-cut bill in early December, and was the only Republican senator at the time to cast a “no” vote on the bill.
But he voted for the final bill after a House-Senate conference, joining the rest of his Senate GOP colleagues to support the legislation backed by President Trump.

Full stop!!
Enough of this fucking nonsense.
The old "who could have known?" shtick isn't going to fly here. There were plenty of credible and obviously smarter economists who predicted that Drumpf's tax cut would be disastrous and explode the deficits. Yet the conservatives, just like they ignored the advice that they would be sorry if they elected Trump, ignored the more credible and smarter people on subject of taxes as well.
Anyone notice how conservatives have been provably wrong about, well - just about every fucking thing? How come we keep letting them be wrong about shit that ends up hurting us?
Anyhow, - Bob Corker knew exactly that this was going to be the result of the horrendous Drumpf tax cut, which quite frankly, was nothing more than a pocket picking orgy by the oligarchs at the expense of the victimized middle class and working poor. That $1.9 trillion over the next decade isn't going to be paid off by Charles and David Koch or Robert and Rebekah Mercer dear readers, that fucking dough is coming out yours and The Gadfly's paychecks, likely for the remaining days of our working lives.
Ifs, Coulds, hopes, . . . Or Whatevers? Pathetic.
For the esteemed Senator from the state of Tennessee to be now feigning ignorance that he never could have imagined that shovel-loading ever more tonnage of national wealth in to the always gaping maw of the off-shore tax havens of the wealthiest 1% could be a shitty idea -- well that is just plain mother-fucking preposterous. That form of wealth redistribution has always been a shitty idea. It's been a shitty idea since the shitty day a bunch of shitty wealthy, greedy cocksuckers thunk it up. And there are a wealth of facts to prove it. Sure, sure -- they aren't "alternative facts" but, The Gadfly digresses.
But really - is Bob Corker truly indicative of the horrifying caliber of civilian "leadership" that our citizenry is pinning their hopes and dreams on to lead them to a glorious, made great again, future America these days? Nothing but Ifs, Coulds, hopes, . . . Or Whatevers? That's what we're settling for?
Face it - that is precisely what Senator Corker is saying there in that statement. He went and wagered his tax vote bet on a whole lot of Ifs, Coulds, hopes, . . . Or Whatevers? , and in doing so, Mr. Corker used the future economic quality of life of millions of Americans as his gambling bankroll.
Ifs, Coulds, hopes, . . . Or Whatevers? That's what Bob Corker went all in on with other people's lives.
But hey - what the fuck does a dirty old liberal hippie like The Gadfly know? Maybe, quite simply, this is the best it's ever gonna get. Perhaps Bob Corker truly is the pinnacle of where our society is at with being able to wisely choose competent and honest "leaders" to "lead" us.
The tax plan that Bob Corker bet American's futures on was proposed and signed in to law by the out of control, carrot-topped psychopath in The White House, who, when he's not economically ass-raping the American working families in this country, is rage-tweeting that he's going to shoot a few of our shiny, smart new missiles off at Russia just to self-nurture his own pre-pubescent "man"hood.
We also have a sizable portion of one political party, the one which is currently in control of our government, that has spent the better part of the past decade steadily evolving in to a modern-day mob of maliciously obtuse little Mussolinis.
Add to that the fact that, at minimum, at least 25% of the voting public are to democracy what termites are to wood. And they in turn are being incessantly egged on by a very well-funded, bubble enclosed media that is so cunning and so duplicitous, that their propaganda methodologies have stimulated the decomposed cock on Joseph Goebbels corpse to spring to life at full attention.
Finally, and as evidence of The Gadfly's bipartisanship -- we mustn't forget the Democratic Party -- which coincidentally also happens to be the name of a new flavor of Jell-O. There are more boneless spines in the Democratic party than in a colony of earth worms.
We The People need to be smarter in picking our leaders folks - much, much smarter. Tear your fucking faces away from shopping for shiny, useless toys, from social media, hate radio and the cable news bullshit. Go out and talk and listen to these individuals running for public offices - the ones who so desperately want to "lead" you. Listen carefully to things they tell you, and things that they promise you. Then think clearly about it. Think about it very seriously. Do that - then go vote.
A great many of the citizenry in 1930's Germany didn't take the time to think very seriously or clearly about the individuals they were selecting to "lead" them. That didn't turn out so well - and not just for the German people, but for the entire goddamn planet.
Just saying folks --- your children and grandchildren, The Gadfly's children and grandchildren, our children and grandchildren --- are we going to roll the dice on their futures with nothing more than Ifs, Coulds, hopes, . . . Or Whatevers as the kitty?
Let's hope to God not.
