Title: Why are Reps botching tax cuts?

"Next, Republicans should abandon the so-called border-adjustable tax. A border tax is a poison pill for the tax plan: It divides the very business groups that the party needs to rally behind tax reform. Retailers like Walmart will never go along. A carbon tax would be even worse. The best way to bring jobs back to America is to simply lower tax rates now while rolling back anti-jobs regulations, such as rules that inhibit American energy production."

Is Ryan the worst piece  of excrement ever to be speaker? If they dont get taxes cut  pronto we will have Speaker Pelosi in 2018.

I would argue that they haven't botched it simply because they haven't been in session long enough to botch anything. Tax reform like healthcare is complex and should be done slowly and methodically. Not like Obamacare which was done recklessly. With that said Ryan will complicate matters.

Yeah, way too early, but it is the GOP, where deficits mean nothing.
