In November, several studies showed that the Senate Republican tax bill would greatly benefit rich people while raising taxes, or at least not delivering as much relief, for those of more modest incomes. Critics called it an unnecessary gift to the already wealthy.

Kennedy dismissed the studies, telling The Washington Post: "You can find an analyst to say just about anything you want to say."

"Let me tell you about economic forecasting. There are 300 Ph.Ds and economists at the Fed, and not a single one of them called a meltdown in '08. ... Economic forecasting around this place in the last 10 years -- let's be fair, the last eight years -- makes those psychic hotlines look reputable."
