Sadly, the tax bill approved last night is a partisan effort that doesn\u2019t meet any of those goals,\u201d said Senator Shaheen. \u201cThis bill would add over one and a half trillion dollars to our national debt and hurt Granite State students, seniors and working families, all to provide tax cuts to the very wealthy and large corporations. I stand ready to work with Republicans and Democrats to reform our tax code, but we need a bill that\u2019s fiscally responsible, helps grow our economy and prioritizes the middle class.\u201d\u00a0\r\n\u00a0\r\nAccording to a report by the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, the Senate GOP tax bill would increase taxes on Americans earning $75,000 annually per year by 2027.\r\nIn addition, the Senate Republican tax bill would:\r\n \r\nReduce the number of uninsured Americans by 13 million by repealing a key provision of the Affordable Care Act;\r\nLead to a $25 billion cut to Medicare;\r\nEliminate the state and local tax deduction (SALT), which 204,000 Granite State homeowners rely on to deduct property taxes;\r\nPrevent 80,000 Granite Staters with student loan debt from deducting interest on student loans;\r\nAnd add $1.5 trillion to the national debt to afford passing permanent tax cuts for corporations.\r\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.shaheen.senate.gov//news/press/shaheen-statement-on-senate-gop-tax-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8556160610169172, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
