Trump’s top economist’s tax analysis isn’t just wrong, it’s dishonest. Lawrence Summers, October 17, 2017, Opinion, "Kevin Hassett, the White House’s chief economist, accused me of an ad-hominem attack against his analysis of the Trump administration’s tax plan. I am proudly guilty of asserting that it is some combination of dishonest, incompetent and absurd. Television does not provide space to spell out the reasons why, so I am happy to provide them here."
