Republicans are still making a huge claim about the tax bill that every independent analysis rejects

04 December 2017 at 17:18
Mitch McConnell, Steven Mnuchin, and other Republicans say the tax reform bill will pay for itself, not a single major analysis agrees with them.
  • Mitch McConnell said Saturday that the Senate tax bill is a "revenue-neutral tax reform bill."
  • Every major analysis of the bill says that it would add at least $1 trillion to the deficit.
  • Republicans have not produced an analysis that shows the bill would be revenue neutral.

On Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters in his home state of Kentucky that the GOP tax bill that had passed hours earlier would end up paying for itself.
