“The White House is signaling to GOP lawmakers that President Trump’s massive tax package isn’t an a la carte menu: It’s a prix fixe meal,” Axios reports.
“While officials want the ‘one big, beautiful bill’ to include all of Trump’s tax priorities, they plan to make extending his 2017 tax package the centerpiece of their messaging campaign.”
“The plan is to use the threat of tax increases for all Americans to convince Congress to pass all of their tax proposals.”
