Are there going to be Congressional hearings at least where Citizens can see a debate with witnesses testifying under oath? Will the Congressional research office publish statistics and data we can read together to debate?

Or will some backroom deal be made without any Congressional approval? I got a lot of questions and basically there is no way to get answers since Republicans gave the president: 1. unilateral authority to set tax rates (tariffs and illegal export levies) 1. impound Congressionally appropriated funds on an ad-hoc basis 1. unilaterally close down federal agencies created by Congress

I refuse to debate the merits of this industrial policy while the above three things are true. There is nothing to debate here because no one outside the administration's inner circle (industrialists bribing) who knows what is going on.

I feel like my 7th grade Civics class has been a complete waste. Or, it lets me see what is happening in the correct light.

		Shame you've been downvoted. Regarding federal agencies, the Constitution indeed means what it says when it says "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." If some agency can wield executive power, it is under the exclusive control of the president. Looking forward to the likely overturning of Humphrey's Executor soon. It's gone in all but name anyway. Perhaps this will spur some future Congress to take back what they've delegated (like sweeping tariff power)
