While Republicans aimed for a version of the bill to be ready by Memorial Day and a presidential signature by July 4, Cassidy stressed that effective policy is paramount, even if it delays the process. He expressed a desire to create a fairer economy for working Americans and indicated that extending Trump\u2019s tax cuts and implementing the president\u2019s agenda may <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">require careful consideration<\/a> and negotiations to make necessary budget cuts.
