ICYMI: CfG President McIntosh Letter Supporting Current Policy Baseline for Trump Tax Cuts

Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Club for Growth President David McIntosh’s letter to House and Senate Republicans argues that the Senate’s plan to use the current policy baseline to extend and expand the Trump Tax Cuts is the most effective way to mitigate the volatile economic impact of President Trump’s expected tariffs. Mia McCarthy covered the letter in an exclusive report with Politico’s Inside Congress newsletter.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) supported Club for Growth’s call for using the ‘current policy baseline’ in a tweet Monday evening.

Meanwhile, in a new letter shared exclusively with Inside Congress, Club for Growth is pressuring House and Senate Republicans to support the Senate’s idea to use an accounting tactic known as current policy baseline to make extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts appear to cost nothing. The group advocating for fiscal restraint argued that pursuing this tactic would cancel out the “volatile economic impact” of Trump’s expected tariffs.
