White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said it is likely that tax reform could be pushed into 2018 if Congress does not pass a budget resolution this week.

"If it doesn't get done this week, there's still a chance it gets done this year, but more likely it goes over into the beginning of next year," Mulvaney told Bloomberg on Tuesday, referring to passing a budget resolution in order to pass tax reform.

"We need this reform, we need this tax package sooner rather than later, and that means by the end of this year so that we can see the benefits of that as we grow the economy soon," he continued.

The budget director added he believed Senate was on track to pass a budget.

2. Rand Paul like the rest of the GOP are self centered SOBs

He's helping in securing that millions will not be covered by healthcare. So as far to tax reform and budget, it does not take away enough for him.

3. So he is directly contradicting Nooch

who proclaimed otherwise before the talking points shifted -

Mnuchin also gave an “absolute guarantee” that Trump would sign a major tax bill by the end of the year. The comments came before the president suggested on Monday that he might not, in fact, be able to sign a tax bill by year’s end.
