If GOP can't repeal Obamacare, how can they overhaul taxes?

[SecularMotion]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans' struggle to pass a health care bill is jeopardizing another one of President Donald Trump's top priorities: overhauling America's tax system.

A day after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., delayed a vote on a bill to scrap much of Democrat Barack Obama's health law, questions lingered about whether congressional Republicans could pass big, complicated pieces of legislation.

"The whole idea is to do health care first because you gain an advantage there to go on and do tax reform," said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. "We've sort of bollixed that up, but I'm encouraged."

Senators were still struggling Wednesday to reach an agreement on key parts of the health bill before they leave Washington for a week-long recess. Moderates complained that too many people would lose coverage while conservatives said the bill wouldn't do enough to lower insurance premiums.

2. There's always the $20 trillion Deficit.

Add the tax cuts and blame the Democrats.
