Action is Picking Up

The U.S. House Budget Committee announced all the pieces of the budget reconciliation bill passed out of their respective committees. They will combine them and hold a single markup session on Friday, May 16.

Republican U.S. Senator Ron Johnson said he is working to ensure the demise of the final bill in the Senate. His beef is not mine. He believes the bill does not do enough to cut spending.

Here is what I sent to Rep. Miller-Meeks:

I object to extending the 2017 tax cuts. Estimates are it would increase the federal deficit by trillions of dollars, requiring raising the debt ceiling.  It makes no sense to do this.
I urge you to vote no on the reconciliation bill.
Regards, Paul Deaton
