• 📈 The goal is to stimulate economic growth through deregulation, American energy production, lowering taxes, and expensing equipment, mirroring the success seen after the 2017 tax bill.

Deficit Reduction Efforts

• 📉 Cornyn states the bill will begin to chip away at the national debt by addressing mandatory spending programs.
