From the New York Times:
Trump to Give Arthur Laffer, Tax-Cut Champion, the Presidential Medal of Freedom
President Trump will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to the economist Arthur Laffer, whose tax-cutting enthusiasm has shaped decades of Republican policymaking, including Mr. Trump’s.
The White House, which said Friday that it will convey the award on June 19, called Mr. Laffer “one of the most influential economists in American history.”
Mr. Laffer, 78, was an adviser to Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, helping to craft the candidate’s tax plan, and a co-author of the recent book “Trumponomics,” which is a celebration of the president and nearly all of his economic programs.
Good - Laffer's idea have proven correct time and time again. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the country’s highest civilian honor.
