WHAT I dislike most about the Trump/Republican tax plan is the shameless cynicism with which it has been peddled. Recall how it works: The government borrows US$1.5 trillion over a decade and instantly uses that money to cut taxes for major constituencies - workers, families, small businesses and big companies.
The handouts aim to buy votes. This is borrowing to bribe. It's not subtle. If it's not cynical, what would be?
