WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement regarding the discussions around tax extenders:
It is fiscally irresponsible to use expiring tax provisions to make permanent changes to our tax code at a cost of more than $400 billion. The President’s veto message is very clear in the priorities it sets forth, and we should go back to the drawing board and create a package that benefits working families, strengthens our economy, and creates a realistic path for tax reform."
