Months, they cant have a replacement. The democrats are very happy in some ways they are going to get rid of obamacare. This was the one big answer paul politically. This was one big answer, a new solution that was going to be revolutionary and change things for the better. Didnt work. They are happy. We had it for six years. Theyre happy to dump it off. Im more optimistic, there are a lot of pitfalls, we can go through them, if we have momentum, get one part down on the replace part, it creates the conditions for further things down the road. So i think that the main thing is that they need to show momentum. They have the repeal and show good things being done. Because our goal is not, the problem is, obamacare is like, closing down a nuclear plant. There is all this waste. You cant turn it off and walk away.

and deductions that have a lot of vocal constituencies or are we talking about a tax cut plan, cut corporate taxes for individuals which would also affect many small businesses that file as individual taxpayers. and so that to me is the key there. what exactly is the president going to introduce? and are we going to find out for the first time and we ve known for a long time that he favors tax cuts in reducing regulations broadly but we ve never really been given an indication about where he stands on broad reform that would overhaul a lot of the ways in which people file their taxes, get things deducted and things of that nature. so a simplification of the taxing system? that is correct. and don t forget, house republicans have been working on a plan that would include border adjustability and completely
