Senate Republicans made considerable tax-reform progress Tuesday by passing a bill through the Budget Committee, though not without another nick. The reform would still help the economy and lift incomes, but the trillion-dollar question is whether Republicans can put the American people and prosperity ahead of this or that pet demand—or if they’ll continue to dent the product. The bill passed 12-11 after drama over whether Senators Ron Johnson (Wisconsin) and Bob Corker (Tennessee) would vote no amid assorted objections.
