Young: Today’s Vote “Not a Serious Effort” at Tax Bill

Today, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) released the following statement following the tax vote in the Senate:

“For months, I have spoken with colleagues on both sides of the aisle about how to advance the House tax package in the Senate. In particular, encouraging R&D activities here in the United States is critical to outcompeting the Chinese Communist Party, and I am generally supportive of this bill’s goals.

“Unfortunately, today’s vote was not a serious effort to pass a bipartisan tax bill. This was a rushed process designed to score a political point for Senate Democrats. My hope today is that Democrats return to the negotiating table and work with Republicans to find a path forward on a solution in the September work period,” said Senator Young.
