What’s Good For The Goose …
Take a deep breath. Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee are begging Democrats not to subpoena Trump’s tax returns even though they used raw power to go after Barack Obama.
“Transparency in our government is enormously important, but must be undertaken with appropriate care,” Reps. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) wrote in a Thursday letter to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.).
Brady says we should “come together” for a “thoughtful solution.”
There’s a hearing on Thursday and I will tell you one damn thing: Republicans better show up with more than beg and a promise to be “thoughtful.” They claim that Democrats are “weaponizing” the tax code. Oh hell yeah. Trump helped roll back the Obama restrictions against pay day lenders today and there – right there – is weaponizing usury laws.
You can breath out now.
