(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) President Tom Schatz released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:

“All taxpayers should applaud the House for passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  The legislation would dramatically cut tax rates, simplify the tax code, and jumpstart the U.S. economy.  Every taxpayer dollar that is returned back to the American people is a dollar not squandered by a federal bureaucracy brimming with waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement.  We look forward to the Senate doing its part to ensure that tax reform is accomplished as soon as possible.”

The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste is the lobbying arm of Citizens Against Government Waste, the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in government.
