House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump met to discuss making the 2017 tax cuts permanent ahead of their expiration. This move could restore Trump's declining poll numbers by benefiting the middle and working class, which saw wage increases and lower unemployment during the tax cuts. While the House has passed a budget blueprint, finalizing the bill is delayed as lawmakers debate how to fund it. Johnson has set a Memorial Day deadline, emphasizing the urgency for Trump to advocate for the tax cuts and garner public support.
Indeed, the new budget package not only keeps the 2017 tax cuts in place, but it seeks to add a few more cuts ... could well set the stage for a similar boom.
Trump's No. 1 priority should be using his bully pulpit to put tax cuts in the spotlight, rally the public behind them and push lawmakers to seal a deal.
If those tax cuts expire, as the Democrats want, Americans will take a big hit. If they're preserved, Trump gets the win and voters cheer.
Johnson has set the deadline for Memorial Day weekend, but some lawmakers are dragging their feet over potential trims to entitlements ... tough decisions need to be made fast.
