On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his Take on the Republican Party's proposed tax legislation, and argues that "extreme partisanship" and "a know-nothing libertarianism" is starving the United States of the investment it needs for future growth.
"If the Republican tax plan passes Congress, it will mark a watershed for the United States. The medium- and long-term effects of the plan are clear: a massive drop in public investment, which will come on the heels of decades of declining spending, as a percentage of GDP -- on infrastructure, scientific research, skills training, and core government agencies. The United States cannot coast on past investments forever, and with this legislation, we are ushering in a bleak future."
Next: Russian President Vladimir Putin held his annual press conference on Thursday, speaking for almost four hours. Joining Fareed to discuss that and more are Susan Glasser, chief international affairs columnist at Politico and co-author of "Kremlin Rising," Luke Harding a foreign correspondent with The Guardian and the author of "Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money and How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win," and David Miliband, former British foreign secretary and now president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, and the author of "Rescue: Refugees and the Political Crisis of Our Time."
