power and can really raise taxes. well, mcconnell and carney are both right. in theory, which is carney, it can do anything it wants. it can propose a tax on green cheese. it can propose anything. la mcconnell is saying it won t happen because i appoint three guys or women on the committee, bane appoints three bret: yeah, three, three, three. and there is no way in hell we ll allow anybody to be other than a fund me tallist on taxes. so it is not going to happen. i think it s probably true. i think it s rather a pity. one thing that you could get out of this committee, i m not one of those who thinks it has no chance of delivering, so i mean, it could actually pass, in the house or senate. it could do real tax reform that ought to be good for the left and the right. reagan did it. some structural entitlement reform.
