10 May 2018 Ways & Means to hold series of tax reform hearings On May 9, 2018, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Tax Policy Subcommittee Chairman Vern Buchanan (R-FL) announced the first in a series of Full Committee and Subcommittee hearings on "how tax reform is growing the U.S. economy, creating jobs here at home, and increasing paychecks for hard-working Americans." The first hearing in the series will be held by the full Committee on Wednesday, May 16 (at 10:00 a.m.). The hearing is titled "Growing Our Economy and Creating Jobs" and will focus on the positive economic developments since enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, according to a Committee news release (attached). "It is exciting to see tax reform boosting our economy and giving families and workers across the country the relief they deserve. Wages are growing at their fastest pace in 10 years, unemployment claims are at their lowest since the 1960s, and Main Street businesses are expanding like never before," Chairman Brady said in the release. "This hearing series will focus on how the economy is expanding thanks to tax reform and how we are keeping our workers competitive, increasing people's paychecks, and making America even stronger and more innovative."
