Cato Institute Director of Tax Policy Studies Adam Michel is available for interviews ahead of a floor vote on the House budget resolution.

Michel issued the following statement in reaction:

The House will vote this week on its budget resolution, which sets the framework for the Majority’s legislative priorities. On taxes, the resolution allows more than enough room to expand and make permanent the 2017 Trump tax cuts. Permanent tax cuts allow businesses and families to plan for the future.

The resolution is stronger than when it started. It now includes a trigger that ties the size of the tax cuts to the relevant committee’s ability to meet or exceed the $2 trillion spending cut target. The House budget would benefit from deeper spending cuts, which are the only way to stabilize the national debt, protect Americans from higher taxes, and meet ambitious economic growth targets.
