He’s ultimately going to be in trouble if he doesn’t get solid, promised tax cuts through soon (with the nasty new BAT tax added on).
But instead I’m reading this:
Ivanka Trump’s involvement in tax negotiations between the White House and congressional Republicans is a signal of her influence with her father despite having no formal role in his administration. Dina Powell, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive who is an economic adviser to the president, is helping Trump to ensure a tax overhaul includes both the child care benefit and a requirement that employers provide paid maternity leave, policies that she pressed her father to embrace on the campaign trail last year.
“Ivanka is really pushing that none of it gets passed unless it includes the child care tax plan,” said Sheila Marcelo, founder of www.care.com, a website to find babysitters and other caregivers. “She and Dina Powell are really pushing to make sure it gets included.”
Ivanka’s plan is projected to cost (and you know it will be more) half a trillion over 10 years! And she’s trying to hold up the promised cuts over it!
I read the Ivanka article in Bloomberg, too.
I’d like to know on what authority Ivanka can threaten to derail the tax overhaul if it doesn’t include the child care and maternity leave benefits.
I sure hope it isn’t the President’s.
REAL Fake News!!
