Now back to the front page lead:
Trump’s plan cuts tax rates across board
It won't be until August at the earliest that we see legislation, according to previous Globe reporting, and who is that standing next to Mnuchin? Just a “natural evolution,” I guess.
Globe will tell you who are the winners and and losers as you work yourself to death.

Btw, why hasn't the Globe talked to MIT professor Postol?
Commander Takes Responsibility for Confusion Over Aircraft Carrier
Scapegoat falling on his sword, and it does nothing to change world perception regarding the lying U.S. military. In keeping with the article just above it, old guard readers will remember a little whopper of a lie called the Gulf of Tonkin incident?
In the 21st century, truth coming from authority is the exception, not the rule.

That should top things off.
Time for lunch.
