    This group of more than 130 economists predict the Senate #TaxReform bill will “ignite our economy with levels of growth not seen in generations” & more than pay for itself → https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/29/137-economists-support-gop-tax-reform-bill-in-open-letter-commentary.html …https://twitter.com/senatorlankford/status/937132765316710400 …

    In last 10yrs, economic growth has collectively averaged less than 2%. Unacceptable. Lots of economists say #TaxReform will grow the economy between 3 & 5%, which pays for itself & even helps pay down fed debt. CBO, JCT scores have always been extremely conservative & often wrong https://twitter.com/senatorlankford/status/937130364694421504 …

        the thing is, I read this to be fair to you. BUT. this letter includes no data to back up their arguments. where is the analysis that gives them 3-5%? you should know better than to just take their word for it.

        Your own graphic says their work is usually accurate. It's fine to have a bias as long as you back up your claims.

        Sen. Lankford, the group that issued that letter, The RATE Coalition, is literally a group of big businesses. Of course they found economists to support cutting corporate tax rate:http://ratecoalition.com/

        Senator, I am one of your constituents. I want to know if I understand correctly: Will I no longer be able to deduct my property taxes, most of which go to my children's public school while private education tuition will now be deductible? I'd appreciate an answer.

        You are working awfully hard at this, James. Misleading people with “last 10 years” and quoting every right-wing source you can find. Maybe stop and ask yourself, if it’s so good, wouldn’t it sell itself?

        Most Americans can’t even afford a $400 emergency. What benefits they see under the current plan will likely be gobbled up by raised premiums from mandate removal. And even those are temporary, but not the nearly 50% rate cut for biz.
