Fox News: Senate Budget Committee Approves Tax Plan

‘Senate Republicans moving one step closer to a possible floor vote this week’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “Another big story to watch today. Senate Republicans moving one step closer to a possible floor vote this week. The proposal clearing the Senate Budget Committee yesterday after President Trump addressed some concerns.”

TRUMP: “I think we have tremendous support. I was just informed by Rich that we had a unanimous vote from the Republican side at least. We have a unanimous vote on the tax bill and it goes now the next step. And I think we’re going to get it passed. I think it’s going to pass Senate. It’s going to be very popular.”

SMITH: “Doug McKelway live on Capitol Hill this morning. Good morning, Doug.” 
MCKELWAY: “Morning, Sandra. And yesterday Senate Budget Committee voted along straight party lines 12-11, it was a significant step forward yesterday, especially in light of the fact that two Republican committee men who had expressed reservations about the bill voted yes yesterday. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin voted yes helping to put the bill over the top on that straight party line vote. Now that does not mean that they’re going to be supporting the final product but it’s an encouraging sign for Republicans. Johnson had been concerned about pass-through businesses being hit harder than big corporations.”
