Tax
Cuts
for
Christmas
IT'S
OFFICIAL:
This
week,
both
the
House
and
the
Senate
passed
the
historic
tax
cuts
and
reforms
package,
marking
the
largest
tax
cuts
and
overhaul
of
our
tax
code
since
the
Reagan
Administration
in
1986.
The
bill
will
be
signed
by
President
Trump
in
the
coming
days.
The
forgotten
men
and
women
of
our
country
voted
to
elect
President
Trump
and
a
Republican
Congress
to
fix
our
broken
tax
code
that
taxes
Americans
too
highly,
ships
their
jobs
overseas,
and
directly
undermines
the
fundamental
principles
that
make
America
great.
The
results
are
now
delivered.
Finally,
the
American
people
are
getting
their
money
back.
Finally,
we're
making
American
businesses
more
competitive
at
home.
And
finally,
we're
igniting
the
kind
of
economic
growth
and
job
creation
that
every
American
deserves.
This
is
history
being
made.
Led
by
the
President,
we're
ushering
in
a
new
era
of
pro-family,
pro-business, ‘America
first’ kind
of
government.
Business
as
usual
is
over.

I
also
joined
my
friend
Lou
Dobbs
on
Fox
Business,
shortly
after
the
House
vote,
to
recap
and
preview
the
upcoming
effects
of
the
bill.
You

the
full
segment

The
United
States
Stands
with
Israel,
Once
Again
Major
news
from
this
week:
the
United
States
vetoed
a
United
Nations
Security
Council
resolution
that
would
have
required
the
President
to
rescind
the
declaration
of
Jerusalem
as
Israel's
undivided
capital.
This
resolution
was
the
most
significant
part
of
a
barrage
of
anti-Israel
attacks
from
the
UN
in
recent
weeks
and
months.
I
give
President
Trump
and
Ambassador
Nikki
Haley
a
standing
ovation
for
this
move.
The
United
Nations'
constant
attempts
to
delegitimize
Israel
in
the
Middle
East
while
undermining
the
United
States'
sovereignty
are
shameful.
By
vetoing
today’s
resolution,
America
is
sending
a
crystal
clear
message
that
we
will
no
longer
tolerate
the
UN's
blatant
anti-Israel
bias
that
does
far
more
damage
than
assistance
toward
peace
efforts
in
the
region.
My
full
statement
is
here.

Nikki
Haley,

resolution

Regulatory
Reform
Continues
President
Trump’s
administration
is
continuing
to
set
records
in
the
rollback
of
our
out
of
control
regulatory
state.
Some
of
the
numbers
from
this
first
year
are
unbelievable:
-
In
year
one,
the
U.S.
has
added
zero
new
regulatory
costs
-
In
fact,
the
U.S.
has
actually
achieved
regulatory
SAVINGS
this
year
for
the
first
time
in
decades
-
In
just
one
year,
the
White
House
canceled
1,500
planned
regulations
that
were
deemed
costly,
unnecessary,
and
over-reaching
-
When
he
took
office,
President
Trump
set
a
goal
of
eliminating
two
old
regulations
for
every
new
regulation--the
WH
has
actually
eliminated
22
outdated
regulations
for
every
new
one
enacted.
That's
a
22/1
ratio.
This
is
the
type
of
bold
regulatory
reform
that
has
been
so
desperately
needed
for
job
creators
and
our
economy.
This
is
what
the
forgotten
men
and
women
voted
for.
This
is
draining
the
swamp.

the
President’s
speech

the
issue

President’s
directive
into
law.
President
Trump
‘cutting
the
red
tape’
between
a
stack
of
today’s
regulatory
code
vs.
the
code

1960
