Trump’s Tax Challenge Is Fitting Priorities in One Bill

Wall Street Journal: “Republicans are trying to fit as many priorities as possible into one bill early next year, combining tax cuts, spending cuts, energy policy, border security and President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign promises.”

“Engineering the legislation that way can help the party completely sideline Democrats, and it is Republicans’ best chance to quickly exploit unified control of the House, Senate and White House. Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, to borrow an ’80s movie catchphrase.”

“But balance is key. The path ahead is a political, arithmetical and procedural tightrope.”
