New Fed Head Same Old, Bad Old
Forbes Indonesia|June 2018

LOST AMONG PORNO ACTRESS allegations, Syrian chemical weapons, food fights between the President and a rogue ex-FBI director, a North Korea summit and possible trade wars is the issue of tax cuts.

New Fed Head Same Old, Bad Old

The White House barely mentions the subject these days, and many Republicans are remarkably mum about what’s usually their signature issue. With barely concealed glee, the New York Times recently ran the headline: “Public’s Interest in Tax Law Has Slipped, and So Has Trump’s.”

This is a big mistake on the part of the GOP. It needs issues to excite and turn out its base, particularly those who voted for Trump. Right now, a good number of those folks are staying home, as evidenced by the elections in Virginia last November and a special congressional election in a Pennsylvania district that Trump had overwhelmingly carried in 2016 but was won by a Democrat in March. The anti-Trumpers are angry, and they are voting.

What should greatly disturb congressional Republicans are the surveys showing that people overwhelmingly consider them to be part and parcel of the Washington swamp, not its drainers.
