“I was talking with a small business owner yesterday morning, and after the 2017 cuts, they had hired two people so their business could grow, and they had been tapping the pencil on the paper, waiting to see if we were going to get this done because they wanted to keep those two employees and wanted to hire two more… People in Tennessee are so excited that the bill is now signed into law, and they're so pleased to know that those tax cuts from 2017 are going to be made permanent,” said Senator Blackburn.

“I was really impressed at how effective you were at driving the bill forward. I'd say that the way to think about this bill is that it's going to give us… a whole bunch of new stuff that's explicitly targeted at blue collar workers and middle-class workers. The people who need the help the most. And so, for example, there are about 90 million hourly workers in the US, and now, if they work overtime, then there’ll be no tax or extra tax on the overtime. Our own Council of Economic Advisers has estimated that this bill will increase the take-home pay for the typical family by about 10 to $13,000 and that's really, really going to make a difference in people's lives,” said Director Hassett.
