‘We Have A Once-In-A-Lifetime Opportunity To Replace A Failing Tax Code’
‘To middle class families across America, we have a simple message: we want to take more money out of Washington's pockets and put more in yours. That is our pledge and our commitment. Now it’s time to make it a reality.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement regarding House adoption of the budget for Fiscal Year 2018:
“I want to thank Speaker Ryan and House Republicans for taking this important step to help us achieve tax reform for hardworking Americans by passing this budget. This is a comprehensive, fiscally-responsible budget that will help put the federal government on a path to balance. It went through committee and includes provisions from both chambers. It reins in government spending. It protects Social Security. It complies fully with previous spending caps, while also providing for an increase for defense resources if a bipartisan agreement is be reached.
“Now that Congress has adopted a budget, our tax writing committees can begin their work in earnest. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to replace a failing tax code that holds Americans back with one that actually works for them. To middle class families across America, we have a simple message: we want to take more money out of Washington's pockets and put more in yours. That is our pledge and our commitment. Now it’s time to make it a reality.”
