“I think that is a great question, and it is deeply troubling. You hear the words ``regular order.'' That is a Washington, D.C., phrase, but we can translate it for the American people. Regular order equals democracy, and democracy is being undermined as it relates to the Republican tax plan, Ponzi scheme, because they are going to try to jam it down the throats of the American people. Not a single meaningful hearing, as was done on a bipartisan basis in 1986, when Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill got together to reform the Tax Code in a meaningful way, in a bipartisan way, in a thoughtful way. But, unfortunately, regular order, democracy, is being undermined by this Republican-led Congress, as it relates to this tax bill.”
