As the dust has started to settle on the Trump budget giveaway disaster (I'm not going to use his name for it, it's stupid and it tricks people into thinking there's something good about it), tax experts and policy wonks are finally beginning to really dig in to uncover all of the sweetheart deals, last-minute giveaways, dead of night kickbacks and outright piracy that was stuffed into the belly of this monster by Republican Senators in the last week.
There’s a ton of it—plus some out in the open stuff with ugly consequences that are just dawning on people—and Republicans have been hoping that people would just get lost in the details and not really track it.
On today’s livestream, I wanted to do the opposite: dive into the details so people could start to appreciate the true, cruel and often bafflingly politically pointless impact of the Trump budget.
To help do that, I welcomed back Ryan McConaghy, one of my former Capitol Hill colleagues and a deep Senate policy expert. You can watch the full live stream video above, or watch/listen to the edited pod version in the embedded player below.
