Shocking surprise...Kudlow: Trump's fictional, imaginary middle class cut won't happen in 2018



A follow-up to Republicans’ 2017 tax overhaul could be passed in the new session of Congress starting in January, Kudlow said, even though Democrats will hold the majority in the House of Representatives, the chamber that writes revenue and spending legislation.

Many changes were being considered “to make the code more efficient and more pro growth, … flatter rates for everybody, particularly middle class people, get rid of the loopholes,” Kudlow said to reporters at the White House.

“None of this I think will happen” with the current Congress, he added. “I don’t see it.”

When a reporter asked about Democrats’ control of the House, Kudlow said: “That doesn’t mean we couldn’t get something in the new session.”

Was he lying about that, or just impotent to make it happen, Larry?

Give the rich a tax break.... to create jobs/trickle down that did not work..
Create a huge deficits.
Fix self created deficit by cutting entitlements/Social Security/medicare etc
Greater divide between the 1% and the rest of us
Rich get richer and the poor and middle class get poorer...
