THE DAILY QUOTE
“The Republican tax code overhaul rests on shaky ground in the U.S. Senate… A few GOP senators already have expressed concern about backing tax cuts financed largely through higher deficits, under conventional scoring. If more than two of them end up bucking their party, the tax bill could go down to defeat. ‘I remain concerned over how the current tax reform proposals will grow the already staggering national debt by opting for short-term fixes while ignoring long-term problems for taxpayers and the economy,’ said retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., in a statement on the Senate bill. ‘We must achieve real tax reform crafted in a fiscally responsible manner.’” - CQ, 11/13/2017
