Boehner: Tax reform is ‘just a bunch of happy talk’ – By Brandon Carter / May 26 2017
Former Speaker of the House John Boehner said Wednesday that plans for massive tax reform initiated by President Trump and House Republicans are “just a bunch of happy talk.”
Boehner gave a keynote address at KPMG’s annual Global Energy Conference and addressed the GOP’s push for tax reform.
“I was a little more optimistic about it early in the year; now my odds are 60/40,” the Ohio Republican said, according to energy-sector news publication RigZone. “The border adjustment tax is deader than a doornail. Tax reform is just a bunch of happy talk.”
Boehner said he “never envisioned” Trump in the role of president, and while he said Trump “did what he could” with healthcare, his presidency still paced problems.“Everything else he’s done [in office] has been a complete disaster,” Boehner said. “He’s still learning how to be president.”
