Trump named his tax bill something ridiculous. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you what he named it. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. Join TYT: https://goo.gl/v8E64M
“President Donald Trump has told senior congressional leaders that he wants to name the forthcoming tax overhaul bill “the Cut Cut Cut Act,” two senior administration officials told ABC News.
Less than 24 hours before the bill is slated to be revealed, there is still dispute over the name, according to a senior congressional aide and a senior White House official.
The sources said it has been decided that the Ways and Means Committee will have the final say over the name.
Still, behind closed doors, there has been back-and-forth between House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady about the name of the bill, including multiple phone calls in the past week.
Ryan’s office initially asked the White House for input because of the president’s knack for branding, according to a senior Hill aide.
Trump has been insistent that the bill be called the “Cut Cut Cut Act”, according to the administration officials.
Ryan and Brady have pushed back on the name of the bill. However, Trump has held firm.
Internal White House polling showed that Americans respond more favorably to language that highlights tax cuts over tax reform, according to a senior White House official.”

Very disappointed in your priorities and member treatment here TYT. I cannot watch the regular show during air time so I became a member (also want to support you guys of course). I look forward to watching the most evenings around 8 PM mountain time. I pay you. Now I see you upload cuts of the show to youtube before the entire main show is posted for members? And today, November 7th, yesterday’s show still isn’t uploaded at all?
That is a disaster man. This is not difficult: members should be the first priority. Even better: do things in parallel with your new funding. But being treated second-class as a member straight-up pisses me off. I am obviously not alone and can tell from other comments this happens on the regular. You need to full-stop change your editing process or base membership will erode. I GUARANTEE IT! You should address this issue on the main show; again, this clearly happens too often.
