Sadly, the tax bill approved last night is a partisan effort that doesn’t meet any of those goals,” said Senator Shaheen. “This 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’s fiscally responsible, helps grow our economy and prioritizes the middle class.” According 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. In addition, the Senate Republican tax bill would: Reduce the number of uninsured Americans by 13 million by repealing a key provision of the Affordable Care Act; Lead to a $25 billion cut to Medicare; Eliminate the state and local tax deduction (SALT), which 204,000 Granite State homeowners rely on to deduct property taxes; Prevent 80,000 Granite Staters with student loan debt from deducting interest on student loans; And add $1.5 trillion to the national debt to afford passing permanent tax cuts for corporations.
