Trump, the year, and a Republican Congress too. How do you size it up . Lets look at the high points. Oh, the high points . Well, we would start with the Tax Reform Act of 2017. That was a very high point. The highest point at the beginning was the confirmation of neil gorsuch to the supreme court. And i suppose we should also mention that there were all of the regulatory rollbacks of obamas regulations using the congressional review act. But once passed, through the end there werent a lot of high points because they spent most of middle of the year trying toc reform obamacare. That was a failure. But, you know, theyve gone off on a true high. The economy is strong, Tax Reform Act should probably propel that economy, so theyve got the winds at their back going into the 2018. Paul we do want to talk about the economy in more detail later, mary, but i think the deregulatory agenda is really both what congress did with the congressional review act. Itd only been used once before, i think

That, in effect, is what he served today. Because the idea that congress and europe can somehow change the teal in a way that satisfies the president s concerns is simply not going to happen.
