Cato Institute Director of Tax Policy Studies Adam Michel is available for interviews in light of the House of Representatives passing the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” this morning.

Michel issued the following statement in reaction:

The House tax bill gets some big things right, like extending lower tax rates and repealing many of the IRA’s green subsidies, but it falls short of delivering the kind of principled, pro-growth reform Republicans have long promised.

The Senate now has an opportunity to improve the House bill. That means making expensing permanent and more broadly available, rejecting new tax-based entitlements like Trump Accounts, and scaling back politically driven carveouts. The Senate should keep its focus on economic growth and use this moment to fix, not further fracture, the tax code.
