House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) has made a significant statement indicating that tax increases, including broad-based taxes, must be considered to address the federal budget deficit. This marks a notable shift in stance for the GOP, which has traditionally been opposed to raising taxes. Arrington emphasized, "It's only fair to have both revenue and expenditures on the table," to ensure fairness in the budget process. The move has sparked various reactions, including criticism from figures who see it as "stabbing Trump in the back" and a departure from efforts to make the Trump Tax Cuts permanent.

Good for Chairman Arrington for acknowledging mathematical & political reality. Anyone who has actually run the budget numbers (or understands how politics works) knows that everything will have to be on the table, including (sorry!) broad-based taxes. https://t.co/nfjjEKKHnU
