GOPe fingers all over it, again. From your link...

...History and organization

The American Action Network is an advocacy group founded in February 2010 by Fred Malek, founder of Thayer Capital and former Republican National Committee deputy chairman. The organization was founded to promote and support center right issues, conceived in part to counterbalance the left-wing Center for American Progress.[12][13] The organization calls itself an “action tank” or “a think-and-do-tank” and is classified as a 501(c)(4).[13][14]

Former Minnesota senator Norm Coleman was hired in 2010 as its CEO.[7] He now serves as chairman of the board[12][13] and also serves on the board of the American Action Forum, a sister organization.[15] In 2011 Brian Walsh, a former political director at the National Republican Congressional Committee, was hired as the group’s president, replacing Rob Collins, the former chief of staff to Eric Cantor.[4][16] The organization’s board members include Fred Malek, Vin Weber, Mel Martinez and Thomas M. Reynolds.[12]

Yep. I have a VCR and just rewound the tape. They said it would take 420 Bil to 630 bil to do this and reduce the size of the economy by 5.7 percent. I am going to forward this tidbit to Trump. Although he recognized it as a hit job on him tonight, I am unsure if he knows who it came from. I learned in 2012 to write down Megyn Kellys sources as she tries to pass off liberal and GOPe sources as conservative. She feels we are not going to check. WRONG!
