Trump promise: "A Trump administration will stop the jobs from leaving America." Reality: “Wells Fargo has laid off hundreds of U.S. employees during the past year as it pushed many of their jobs overseas”https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/banking/article222369295.html …

Pharmaceutical companies got billions of dollars of benefits from the Republican tax law this year. Now, they’re raising your drug prices. That’s not right.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-drugpricing-exclusive/exclusive-big-pharma-returning-to-u-s-price-hikes-in-january-after-pause-idUSKCN1OJ01E …

President Trump is going out of his way, and against the bipartisan will of Congress, to cut off basic food assistance for hungry Americans and their families.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/20/us/politics/food-stamps-trump-administration-snap.html …

Republicans promised their tax law would do a lot of things – Pay for itself! Spur $4,000 raises for workers! Bring $4 trillion back to the United States! One year later, the law has fallen dismally short of those claims.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/has-the-gop-tax-cut-delivered-yes--and-the-tooth-fairy-was-here-just-last-night/2018/12/20/54c08c06-049b-11e9-b6a9-0aa5c2fcc9e4_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c42cb9cacacf …

It’s been nearly a year since Republicans forced their tax law through Congress. Who's benefitted the most? Big corporations and the most well-off and well-connected individuals, not workers and middle-class families.https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/18/opinions/trump-tax-cuts-fed-interest-rate-jill-filipovic/index.html …

Claims that Republicans made about their tax law that have been proven FALSE: “The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan.” Nope. “The benefits of tax reform go to the middle class, not to the highest earners.” Not true.https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tax-plan-consequences/?utm_medium=social&cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-politics&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_content=politics&utm_source=twitter …

President Trump promised that American workers would see huge financial gains thanks to the GOP tax law. “A year later, economic data shows that the tax bill’s benefit to workers was largely a mirage.”https://www.vox.com/2018/12/18/18144509/tax-cut-bill-workers-bonus …

President Trump and congressional Republicans said that companies would use their savings from the GOP tax law to give workers $4,000 raises. But that hasn’t happened. Instead: “Corporate America gives out a record $1 trillion in stock buybacks”https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/17/investing/stock-buybacks-trillion-dollars/index.html …

Friday’s court ruling is the latest step in Republicans’ long-running attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act, rip health coverage from at least 20 million people, and allow insurance companies to discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions.https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-12-15/obamacare-court-setback-won-t-kill-law …

“Trump and his backers in Congress promised tax cuts would boost the long-term growth potential of the U.S. economy. The data so far don’t support that claim.” What we do know for certain: the GOP law has caused the deficit to balloon.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-13/trump-s-tax-cuts-had-an-impact-but-not-the-one-backers-hoped-for …

A new study finds that due to Republican policies, America’s fiscal strength will decline over the coming years. Democrats want to get our nation’s fiscal house in order.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tax-cuts-putting-america-203051912.html …

The federal government’s debt has skyrocketed under Republican control. Contributing to that problem: the GOP’s underfunding of the IRS has led to “tens of billions in lost government revenue.”https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-irs-was-gutted?utm_content=buffer2c7c2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=buffer …
