Republicans Divided Over Tax Cuts

“Ultra-conservatives in the House are threatening to block a budget blueprint to kickstart tax cut negotiations, potentially delaying passage of President Donald Trump’s economic plan,” Bloomberg reports.

“The lawmakers oppose a Senate-passed tax outline and are threatening to hold up a key vote this week over concerns it does not adequately address the deficit. Both the House and Senate must agree to the parameters of tax and spending cuts before they can advance the president’s signature economic plan.”
