Senate Republicans should back tax relief before it’s too late

Conservatives have always rejected on principle the progressive argument that tax cuts inflate the deficit. Returning dollars back to families and businesses isn’t “spending” — it’s less taxation. And less taxation typically comes with the benefit of unleashing a stronger economy that benefits everyone.

Most Republicans understand this. That’s why the GOP-led House passed a bipartisan bill in resounding fashion earlier this year to extend some of the best provisions in Donald Trump’s 2017 tax law.
