‘It’s been three weeks. Three weeks. Lower utility bills, a million special tax reform bonuses and pay raises, and this is only the beginning. A Republican majority in the House, a Republican majority in the Senate, and President Trump listened to the facts instead of the political spin. I’m proud that we passed this historic bill and gave families across America the tax relief they’ve waited decades to receive.’

‘The early impact of this historic tax reform legislation is clear. Job creators and entrepreneurs are more optimistic. More than one million Americans are already getting raises and bonuses. And the groundwork is being laid for a more powerful, more competitive U.S. economy that attracts more investment and creates more home-grown jobs.’
