The 14th annual Inventors Conference in Torrington was another great success. I hope to see more inventors at the conference next year.\u00a0\r\nBack in Washington, the Senate approved a budget resolution. The budget is focused on providing Congress with the tools it needs to enact meaningful tax reform in order to ensure hard-working Americans can keep more of what they earn. If we are able to do it right, it should mean more money for American families, which will help create new jobs and, in turn, raise wages across the board. I trust folks at home to spend their money more wisley than the federal government can. We should also simplify the tax code and make it fairer for all Americans.\u00a0\r\n\r\n  \n\r\n \nSenate approves FY 2018 Budget Resolution supporting tax reform to help American families\n \r\n\r\n\r\nThe U.S. Senate approved the FY 2018 Budget Resolution focused on providing Congress with the tools it needs to enact tax reform to grow America\u2019s economy and strengthen families and small businesses. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., said the Senate\u2019s Budget Resolution is focused on restrained spending and growing America\u2019s economy through tax policies that put more money in the hands of hardworking Americans.\u00a0\n\u201cThis budget resolution is the first step to pro-growth tax reform, as it will provide the fiscal headroom needed for the tax-writing committees in the Senate and the House to produce tax reform legislation,\u201d Enzi said. \u201cHardworking families deserve a system that works for everyone in order to provide higher wages and more jobs. Pro-growth tax reform can help U.S. businesses and their workers compete in the global marketplace, spur investment and job growth here at home, and free Americans to make their own decisions about how to spend their hard-earned money. Hardworking Americans want and deserve a more effective and efficient government. And a big part of that is making the tax code work for all American families and small businesses.\u201d\nLearn more\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\n Senate passes Enzi resolution supporting goals and ideals of National Retirement Security Week \r\n\r\n\r\nIn a national effort to help workers focus on their financial needs for retirement, the U.S. Senate designated October 15\u201321 as National Retirement Security Week.\u00a0Enzi introduced the bipartisan resolution to designate the week, which the Senate passed last month without any opposition.\n\u201cAlthough the cost of retirement is significantly increasing, far too few workers are saving,\u201d Enzi said. \u201cRetirement security is not talked about often enough. Regardless of your age, it is never too early to look at options that can help provide the financial security you will need in the future. Knowing the best way to save for retirement can reap huge rewards down the road.\u201d\nLearn more\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\nI hosted my 14th annual Inventors Conference in Torrington.
