\nFresh off his biggest legislative victory of the year, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is disputing projections that the Senate’s tax bill would add to the nation’s debt woes.<\/p>\n

McConnell said on Saturday (12\/2) he thinks the tax overhaul will generate more than enough economic growth to plug the deficits forecast. Over the next decade, the Republican tax plan is projected to add at least $1 trillion to the national debt. McConnell discounted that, saying he believes it is revenue neutral.<\/p>\n

The Kentucky Republican also predicted the House and Senate can iron out differences over the tax legislation and get it to President Donald Trump before Christmas.<\/p>\n

He says he can’t foresee any compromise that would keep Senate Republicans from passing a final version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
