Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after the House passed Tax Reform 2.0:

“Republicans unleashed the economy last year when we slashed taxes for hardworking Americans. Main street businesses are booming, their optimism has never been higher, and unemployment is at historic lows. The House has doubled down on this success by passing another package of tax reforms. The new package of three bills will make permanent the tax cuts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, allow families to keep more of their hard-earned money to use to their own benefit, and spur new business innovation. I encourage my colleagues in the Senate to pass this reform as soon as possible, so America can continue to be the most innovative country in the world.”
