The House will vote on the most sweeping, pro-growth tax reform since Reagan. So what does it mean for you and your family?\nMost importantly, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will give typical families of four earning $73,000 per year a $2,059 tax cut next year.\nThat is a really big deal. Thats $2,059 to help cover that dream vacation, invest in your childrens college education, or save up for that new car.\nThis tax cut is the result of three major reforms:\n Increasing the standard deduction so more of what you earn$12,700 for individuals and $24,000 for joint filersis completely tax free.\n Doubling the Child Tax Credit to $2,000 per child so parents have some extra cash to raise their families.\n Lowering rates across the board so Americans at every single income level get a well-deserved and long-overdue tax cut.\nThe long story short is that relief for middle-income Americans and families living paycheck-to-paycheck is finally on the way. When we get this done, people across the country can celebrate the holidays knowing they will wake up with a simpler and fairer tax code on New Years Day.\nTo learn more, visit speaker.gov.", 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.speaker.gov/general/2059-tax-cut-average-american-families"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6231490299105644, "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"}
