Wealthy CEOs are using JFK’s words out of context to mislead Americans about tax reform
The Job Creators Network, a group of wealthy CEOs partnering with Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to lobby for Trump’s deeply regressive tax cuts for the rich, is running a new television ad in three states this week taking President John F. Kennedy’s words out of context to suggest that tax cuts are urgent.
The ad quotes Kennedy’s 1962 remarks at the Economic Club of New York:
…Tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to r...
A reporter finally asked Trump to just explain his health care plan. His response was a train wreck.
During a joint White House news conference with the prime minister of Greece on Tuesday, President Trump was asked an extremely basic question about his health care plan. He responded with a lengthy, incoherent word salad.

Days after President Trump signed an executive order to allow people to buy skimpier, cheaper health care plans and confirmed the federal government will st...
To sell his tax plan, Trump cites economist who helped wreck Kansas’ economy
While he was live-tweeting his favorite show on Monday morning, President Trump touted support that former Reagan administration Economic Policy Advisory Board member Art Laffer expressed for his tax cut proposal.

Trumpcare is here
Just two weeks after the Senate once again tried — and failed — to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, it’s become eminently clear that those failures don’t matter. Trumpcare has arrived.
