GOP missed great opportunity to repeal & replace OB-Care. Limit gov't. end entitlement. Reagan 70% rule? Get to Senate, then conference, then reconciliation.
Plenty of blame to spread around. Ryan never worked w/ Freedom Caucus for changes. Done by Trump-- yeoman's work. How could Ryan not understand reconciliation rules stretched to regs? No one talked to parliamentarian until Sen Mike Lee! Essential benefits? Guaranteed issue for sick. Tax credits? Freedom Caucus could have made Reagan-type deal.
Missed opportunity for tax repeal. Especially capgains = 1000-1500 on Dow. Help econ & stocks. Is it dead? Or just a battle to win long war?
Ryan revolt? Meadows, Jordan, Blackburn? Shake-up in WH? Has Ryan changed? Supply-side to root canal?
But, now tax reform could come 4-5 months earlier. Get rid of BAT. Work reconciliation. Include Freedom Caucus. Corp tax cut helps middle class wage-earners the most. Should have been done first. Retroactive Jan 2017?
Stocks worst week since October. Trump worries about tax reform & reg rollback? Worldwide mfging getting better? Profits? !% RGDP Q1? Low revenues & NGDP? Change strategy?
Trade protectionism hurts consumers most. Insourcing creates good-paying jobs.
Infrastructure? Security: wall, refugees, destroy ISIS. People want peace & prosperity.
