Imagine voting to bring back polio because you had to pay a little extra for eggs only to hear that it will not be so easy to lower egg prices....now you're just stuck with polio.

I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it...

The GOP is scrambling to obscure the astronomical costs of Trump's tax cuts and economic plans, which experts estimate will balloon the national debt by over $4 trillion.

When asked what orders he gave to his unit, the commander said he prohibited giving live ammunition to individual soldiers
