The House Ways & Means Committee should have regular hearings with prominent academic economists on the abject failure of the Trump tax give-away. Also, retrospective hearing on the *positive* effects of the 1993 tax increase. In fact, ALL tax increases.https://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/08/tax-increases-and-bull-markets/ …

First... Demos need to concentrate on their base and not so much on trump’s voters. Look what happened in North Carolina... they still voted for trump. Trump understands how to get his voters to the polls...do you demos? What are you going to do about it for 2020.
