Senate Republicans scramble to pass Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’
The Senate Republicans are competing to pass a budget bill, which is very important to the second term agenda before the deadline of President Donald Trump.
The party leadership, shortly after midnight, the latest version – the entire 940 pages – after releasing the market on Saturday afternoon “Big Beautiful Invoice” in the first vote bending weapons for the first vote.
Rank and file republicans are divided from the welfare programs to meet the extension cost of 3.8 million dollars (2.8 TN) in Trump tax reductions.
The spreading tax and expenditure measures passed the House of Representatives two weeks ago.
The latest version is designed to appease some Backbench Republican waiting.
After some party moderates will damage the components of the original proposal, it also includes an increase in financing for rural hospitals.
For representatives of high taxes such as New York, another fine tuning was made for the state and local taxes (salt), which is a discussion bone.
Currently, there is a limit of $ 10,000 on how much taxpayers can fall from the amount they owe in federal taxes.
In the new draft law, the Senate Republicans increased the salt limit to $ 40,000 for married couples up to $ 500,000 in parallel with the things approved by the House of Representatives.
However, the latest Senate version ends the cover of 40,000 dollars after five years – return to $ 10,000.
The legislation includes some basic components, including the addition of new deductions, such as the expansion of tax cuts adopted by Republicans in 2017 and the elimination of taxes on Trump’s social security aids and excessive work and clues.
There are also more controversial measures, including restrictions and requirements on Medicaid, a health program used by millions of elderly, disabled and low -income Americans.
Trump put pressure on the congress to pass the bill quickly.
The Senate majority leader John Thune called a possible Saturday vote “willing”, and it is still unclear whether the Republicans can advance the bill.
A Republican Senator from Wisconsin said that he would vote for “No” for the Fox & Friends program on Saturday and still need time to read.
“We just got the bill, Joh Johnson said. “I bought my first copy at 01: 23 in the morning.”
