My Sunday political comments . . .

I remain optimistic that some level of tax reform will take place by the end of the year and that it will be retroactive, i.e. apply to all of 2017.
Corporate tax reform in the form of ending our antiquated worldwide tax system in favor of a territorial tax system, accompanied by a 12% interim rate for bring home corporate profits will create an economic boom compared to the last 8 years.
Oh, and keep in mind, that political division is fed by a stagnant economy and eased by economic growth. #TaxReformNow.
It is laughable to hear the Democrats in Washington concerned about whether the tax package will increase the deficit. When Obama doubled the national debt, I don’t remember them expressing such concern.
Bank on tax revenues out pacing any government related estimates as a result of an expanding economy and a second round of tax reform if the corporate reform above goes through.

Did you hear much about it? Probably not – he is a Democrat after all.
The allegations of corruption are real and any republican would have been run out of Washington by now.
On CNN, despite knowing the truth, Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin said he he looks forward to the day when Menendez returns to the Senate.
Interestingly, the Republicans don’t seem to pushing the story either.

It has been more a goodwill tour than a trip to sign accords.
Few headlines have come out of the trip – in other words, it has gone well and the press has not had any serious angle to attack the President.
