Gisteravond een interview op CNBC met Dave Camp, oud politicus (nu PriceWaterHouseCoopers) over Tax reform. Hij schreef een tax reform plan in 2014, kon op bipartisan steun rekenen en was revenue-neutral. Kan zo opgepikt worden, eventueel met wat wijzigingen. Trump team is er mee bezig.

In short, the legislative shelf is full of policy options from which to choose, if Mr. Mnuchin would rather avoid the time-consuming exercise of making his own from scratch. That’s certainly what we would do in his position. For example, in 2014, then-House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) drafted a bill that would have reduced the top corporate rate from 35 percent to 25 percent and replaced the seven marginal rates for individuals with three: 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. The lower rates would have been paid for by eliminating or reducing certain long-standing tax breaks, such as the mortgage-interest and charitable deductions.
Accordingly, the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation scored Mr. Camp’s plan as revenue-neutral; that is, it neither increased nor decreased the budget deficit. Mr. Camp (now retired) included sweeteners for Democrats, with whom he consulted extensively: His plan targeted the notorious special treatment of “carried interest” for hedge-fund managers (something Mr. Mnuchin also favors), as well as a break for corporate jets, which was a pet issue of President Barack Obama.
There were objectionable aspects to Mr. Camp’s plan. It retained favorable treatment of investment income for top earners, a major source of the growing rich-poor gap. Yet even some top Democrats considered it “a credible effort,” as then-representative, now senator, Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said. Republican leaders basically nixed it, not because of any policy objection, but because there was more to be gained, politically, in that election year by raining negativity on Mr. Obama.

Klimaatfans... heb je die email zelf gelezen? Er staat (zoals altijd) dat de economie niet mag lijden onder de aanpak van klimaat. Dat draait dus weer op niks uit.quote:Op vrijdag 31 maart 2017 12:32 schreef antiderivative het volgende:

President Trump is planning to decide by late May on whether the U.S. should stay in the Paris climate change agreement, the White House announced Thursday. White House aides “are currently reviewing issues related to the agreement.”
Trump has been under pressure from conservatives to formally exit the agreement. But others close to the president want to maintain the United States’ position in the pact, even if Trump doesn’t want to abide by the 26 percent to 28 percent emissions cut that Obama promised.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said it’s valuable from a diplomatic perspective to stay in the accord, and Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner — both close advisers — agree.
Trump’s wide-ranging executive order signed Tuesday started the process to roll back nearly all of Obama’s climate agenda, but did not mention the Paris agreement. Still, the order makes it unlikely that the nation could live up to Obama’s commitment.
The pact sets out a four-year process for exiting the agreement. But some conservatives have suggested pulling the U.S. out of the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change, a much larger agency, which would also have the effect of pulling out of Paris.
Maar goed, wat kan het ons schelen, het klimaat stopt immers bij de landsgrenzen.
Ook hier valt weer te lezen dat de GOP liever dwarsligt dan meewerkt. Tevens is de GOP dermate verdeeld dat het misschien wel op steun van de Dems kan rekenen, maar niet op genoeg steun van bepaalde Republikeinen die (bijvoorbeeld) door de extreem rijken gesteund worden.quote:

Dat is nooit het echte probleem geweest, het echte probleem is dat het voor sommige onderdelen van de economie slecht is, niet voor de economie als geheel. En de onderdelen voor wie het slecht is betalen hun politici nu eenmaal goed.quote:
