GOP Convention Displays Party Shift Toward Populist Economic Policies
Brady, who played a lead role in writing the Trump tax cuts and is now an adviser for the Alliance for Competitive Taxation, a business coalition working to keep the 2017 tax cuts in place, said he thinks Republicans are still trying to figure out “how best to tackle” the problem of putting guardrails on spending in the long term, with the goal of bringing the U.S. budget back into balance. He also said that, specifically, Republicans on Capitol Hill are still “very concerned” about debt and deficits.
