We won – and America won – by ONE vote 217-215.

This is a huge bullish development and raises the odds enormously that the we will get the tax cut through Congress after all.

Congratulations to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, President Trump (whose last minute phone calls to wavering members pushed it over the goal line) and Budget Committee Chairman Jody Arrington (who wrote the budget resolution) for a Herculean effort.

Big win too for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who masterfully shepherded the bill through the House.

There was only one defector, Thomas Massie of Kentucky. We love Tom, but he made a bad call here.

Last week the Senate promised that if the House passed the tax cut, they would do the same.

OK.  Get on with it. There’s no reason this can’t be done in the first 100 days – i.e., the president signs the big beautiful bill by Memorial Day.
