Addressing the expiring Bush and Stimulus Tax Cuts

Knowing that comprehensive reform will take time, we must ensure that while Congress is working to bring about competitive change, government does not increase the cost of business. Therefore, before we leave for August, I expect to schedule a vote on legislation preventing the largest tax increase in history.
