Steve Rattner: Trump’s Own Treasury Secretary Doesn’t ‘Understand the President-Elect’s Own Tax Plan ‘

RATTNER: “Neither of these guys has really played the Wall Street game necessary at the highest level. Look, I think equally importantly neither of these guys has ever spent more than three hours or whatever in Washington. Neither of them have any government experience or any public sector experience, and I think the record of people coming from the business sector to Washington without having done some of that is pretty mediocre. I agree with Mark that I think they will get confirmed, and I think on the tax plan there’s a couple of important points. First of all, under the Senate rules, you only need 51 votes to do tax reform. So Democrats don’t have that filibuster opportunity."
