Paul to Trump: “I’m All In for Tax Cuts, the Biggest, Boldest Cuts Possible”

“What I’m asking us to do is be responsible, budget for this, actually act like we really believe in what we say that the debt is a problem,” he said.

President Trump took a victory lap on Twitter over the budget plan passage, which allows committees to move forward on tax reform.
