The Devil Is In The Details....
Republicans spend a lot of time talking about tax reform. There have been white papers, speeches, and shifting timelines. There is, however, something we haven’t seen…
The plan! Or a bill! Our friends at Politico hit the nail on the head:
“Congressional Republicans came back to Washington ready and eager to work on tax reform, but they’re still missing one thing: a plan.”
“That’s triggered frustration among rank-and-file lawmakers who feel pressure from President Donald Trump to pass a tax reform bill but have seen no plans and worry they’ll be backed into a corner on legislation they haven’t even seen, much like they were with the failed Obamacare repeal earlier this summer.”
“A member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, speaking on condition of anonymity to speak freely said, ‘It is frustrating and concerning that we don’t have the details and yet we’re going to be asked in 60 days to vote on something.’”
