House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) outlined his economic agenda for the first 100 days under a second Trump administration during a speech at the America First Policy Institute.
Among other priorities, Johnson said Republicans would: (1) extend the tax cuts included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; (2) repeal “wasteful” tax credits included in the Inflation Reduction Act, as well as “anti-energy” regulations; (3) use the tax code to deter illegal immigration and eliminate loopholes; (4) disentangle U.S. economic interests from China; (5) create a “leaner, faster, and well-organized federal workforce”; (6) root out waste, fraud, and abuse, including $764 billion in “improper payments” under the Biden Harris Administration; and (7) support a robust Child Tax Credit and the “dignity of work.”
