Roy Blunt: ‘We’re Clearly Going To Have Better Jobs’ with Our Tax Bill

RUSH EXCERPT: 
BLITZER: "You’re a, you know, a fiscal conservative, but the congressional budget office, as you know, they just released their report estimating that this revised Republican tax reform bill would actually raise the deficit, the national debt by $1.7 trillion over ten years. Senator, are you comfortable with that?"
BLUNT: "Well, first of all, the revised bill is not what the final bill will be, and secondly, most of these groups that evaluate — want to evaluate with a score that indicates a tax policy has no impact on economic decision-making, I’m sure that at the $1 trillion or $1.5 trillion over ten, that good tax policy just a little bit of growth in the annual growth of the economy quickly makes up for that. And every economist I’m talking to tells me that’s what’s going to happen if we’ll stick to the main points in this bill. We’re going to have not only more take-home pay now for working families, but we’re clearly going to have better jobs as this bill would encourage capital to get off the sidelines and back into the economy."
