Congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump scored a big win on April 10 when the House voted for the Senate’s budget framework 216 to 214. Big? It was ’uge, as the president sometimes puts it.

Here’s why. It means the 2017 tax cuts are likely to be renewed, not expire at the end of the year, thus avoiding a $4.5 trillion tax hike. This means more economic growth, more thriving businesses, more plentiful jobs, and more voters seeing conservative governance working for the good of the nation.
