Krauthammer on Tax Cuts: GOP Can’t Wait Until the Last Minute as They Did with Health Care

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "There is one thing they have learned from this healthcare bill. When you come to a really difficult issue, and there were several on the healthcare that doomed it, the really hard one in tax reform is the border tax. There is a real split among Republicans, a philosophical one. They have to work it out in advance. You can’t wait for the last minute. It could end up with another train wreck. I think there is tremendous unanimity among Republicans and conservatives on the basic outlines of tax reform. They are really ready to go. But, unless they work out some kind of compromise agreement, substitute on the border tax, which is essentially a tax on imports, that favors exports, which means a lot of winners and a lot of losers and a lot of lobbying that they ought not venture into this. They have got to do their stuff before not like the perils of Pauline at the last minute like they did on healthcare."
