WAPO: Trump aides sell tax plan with Pinocchio-laden claims |
2017-09-29 |
[WAPO] In selling President Trump’s tax plan, his aides have resorted to making strikingly misleading statements to defend it. At the moment, there are few details about the tax plan, only broad strokes. That makes it easier for the administration to make big claims as analysts scramble to try to make sense of the plan’s possible impact. That will be much harder once an actual tax bill is written and the details can be analyzed in depth. In the meantime, we have a pair of Four-Pinocchio claims that are worth highlighting. |

#4 If Trump can get the Economy humming the dogs yapping at his heals will become irrelevant and they all know it. A proper tax plan is a big way towards making that happen. |
