At the Western Conservative Summit, we sat down with Grover Norquist to explore the effects of Trump tax cuts, deregulation and the interaction between the two fueling the current economic boom. Curiously, the tax cuts were slated to have an effect 3-4 years from now, according to Norquist, but the impact was almost immediate—due to the combined effect of the anticipation of the cuts, and the simultaneous deregulation efforts by the administration. Norquist discusses new expected tax rules that account for inflation, cites changes to labor law as a critical deregulatory change, and outlines three steps that will lead, in his view, to an even stronger economy.
