Scalise voicing the political case to get Republicans’ tax bill going now
SCALISE on a two-bill reconciliation: “Once you get beyond one bill, if you try to do a second bill later just on tax, you could just go look at 2017 – see how long it took, see how difficult that was. It barely made it through the process, and you didn’t really get the bounce because it took so long to get the second bill done. “The president remembers that. It’s one of the reasons we lost a majority. And so do you want to repeat that history, or do you want to do it earlier and get the benefits earlier and increase the likelihood that you actually get tax. Because the question of whether or not you can even pass a second bill is a real, serious concern.”
