This legislation, the Military Retirement Restoration Act, is completely paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes companies abuse to avoid paying U.S. taxes. “As I’ve said all along, the bipartisan budget agreement will help end the cycle of manufactured crises that has slowed our economy and harmed middle class families, but it’s far from perfect,” Kuster said. “Congress should work to replace the cost of living adjustment changes included in this deal – and that’s exactly what this common sense legislation will do. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this common sense fix.” U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Mark R. Warner (D-VA) have introduced companion legislation in the Senate. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
