Senator John Cornyn Discusses Tax Bill and Deficit Reduction with Larry

Published | Video Starts at 02:58

I get that. Will this bill reduce that deficit? I believe it will. And you have to look at it this way. If you don't vote for the bill, you're going to see a multitrillion dollar tax increase that does nothing for the deficit and debt. So we're making good incremental change, a good first start. And I know President Trump, I heard him say it myself, is say he plans to do more after this bill's done. (02:58–03:06)

CLAIM

Asserts that not passing the bill will result in a multitrillion dollar tax increase without reducing deficit and debt.
