Senate paves the way for tax reform by passing a budget


(Worthy News) – The Senate passed a 2018 budget resolution late Thursday that will serve as the vehicle for comprehensive tax reform, the Republican Party’s top legislative goal.

But other Republicans cheered the result and said it lets them move quickly toward a tax bill. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
