This would inspire companies tO Stay in America and companies tO move back home after relocating overseas. The Tax Foundation says this could increase long-run U. S. GDP by as much as 4.1 %.

By the time he woke up, he had the beginnings of an an- swer, which he tapped out in a memo tO his fundraising partner Mary Pat Bonner. The basic idea was to double down and up- date his organizations for the next fight, with new technology, new targets and a singular focus to hobble the Trump Admin- istration at every turn.
