Rep. Meadows on Tax Reform: American People Are Fed Up with Excuses

EXCERPT:

MEADOWS: “Well, Josh, it’s good to see you on that side of -- of the desk instead of on this side but as we look at that, that balance is -- is hopefully been taking place over the nine months in terms of trying to work and -- and get some input. But in terms of the bipartisan side of that, I think what you’ll see in the Ways and Means Committee on the House side over the month of October is some real back and forth. There already have been discussions I know between the administration and key senators and House members on the Democratic side to try to put it together, but we don’t have much time. The American people, as you know, are fed up with excuses; they want us to actually deliver and put something on the president’s desk. And tax cuts is something that -- that doesn’t have a D or an -- an R behind it and unaffiliated voters like it just as well when you put more of their money back in their pocket. And so, we’ve got to do it. We have a time line of -- of hopefully having something on the president’s desk by Thanksgiving, but certainly no later than the end of the year.”
