Don't ask me, sport, I didn't write the article, I just posted it.
Why don't you Neal's show and ask him when he gets back from his vacation?
I posted the executive order, so the question was rhetorical. There is nothing in there that prohibited them from considering the fairtax, and since the fairtax was one of the proposals that was extensively included in the report, Neal's statement was not only false, it was a ridiculous claim. Neal is nothing but a fairtax propagandists.
