President Donald Trump says “no one is going on vacation” until the big, good bill is on his desk until the deadline of July. And Republicans in Congress stay so it can be made.
The Senate is preparing for the weekend's work, while Speaker of Parliament Mike Johnson They told lawmakers on Tuesday to set their “easy” schedule as they prepare for more votes.
“We are making a good way,” Senate chief leader John Thune, Rs.d. Expect the Senate to find this “old finish” end of the week, and bring it back home quickly.
But Republicans who have control of the palace and the Senate find that their push to move faster and change things – which are a reduction in federal government plans as well as Medicaid and Food Seals Used by millions of Americans – it's easier to say than to do.
Not all GOP lawmakers are on board, and Senate MP He has advised that several key proposals violate procedural rules. And Democrat completely opposed, all of which is to let the GOP leaders hit the day before the last votes.
Here's the latest about what's inside, out and still on the debate as the lawmakers work to finish the biggest 1,000 pages package together.
Is it? What is the purpose of a great bill? Tax reduction.
The highest priority for Republicans is to prevent what they warn will be increased tariffs, some $ 3.8 trillion, after December when the tariff break they set during Trump's first period, in 2017, ended.
A great bill you seek to make Existing tax rates with permanent brackets, While also extending over time for a new time Trump did the campaign – no tariffs on tips, additional payments or motor loans, as well as a reduction in $ 6,000 in the Senate draft for seniors who do not receive more than $ 75,000 a year.
The richest households would see an increase of $ 12,000, while the bill would cost the poorest more than $ 1,600 per year, according to An unusual budget office.
Central income taxpayers would see a $ 500 tax break to $ 1,500, CBO said.
One of the family provisions would increase the children's tax loan $ 2000 to $ 2,200 under the Senate proposal or $ 2,500 within the White House. But family at low income levels will not see the full amount, if any.
And one issue that has not been resolved is the proposed $ 40,000 house on government and domestic deductions, called salt, which the GOP senators say is very high and they want the least.
The bill also funds the transfer, border wall and Trump Heroes Garden
There are also $ 350 billion for new funding in the Trump border package and the national security agenda.
Trump promises the largest transfer operation in American history, and the package recommends money to hire 10,000 new immigration and customs officers, and $ 10,000 to sign benefits, and for 100 immigration beds for the purpose of evicting 1 million people a year.
In addition, the Housing Bill proposes $ 12 billion to the Secretary of State Security to subsidize provinces that help with the implementation of immigration and transfer measures. The Senate package also gives the Attorney General with $ 3.5 billion to create such a government fund called to fade the shortage of experienced immigration across the country, or Biden, referring to the former president.
Immigrants entering America will face new fees, as well as $ 1,000 for those seeking asylum protection.
There is also money for the development of Trump's “gold” missile system on America, and the quality of life measures for slaves and women.
And there are additions: One passage from the Senate can provide $ 40 million to introduce Trump's long -term search “The national garden of American heroes.”
How to pay for it? Medicaid cuts, Snapwith green energy programs
To help end lost tax revenue, Republicans are seeking to reduce several continuous government plans-medicaid, food stamps and green-elegant incentives reveal success Between two democratic presidents: Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Republicans say that they are testing the magnitude of security programs for the number of people who were previously created to serve-Ethically pregnant women and children-and the roots of waste, fraud and abuse.
The package includes a new work needs of 80 hours a month for many people receiving medical and food seals, as well as older people up to 65 years old. Parents of more than 10 children would have to work to qualify for food aid, and those with teenagers would have to follow Medicaid's job requirements.
“It's very popular,” Johnson said on Tuesday, noting people could work, volunteer or go to school or work training programs. “For heaven, do something to build.”
80 million Americans rely on the Medicaid, which increased under Obama's cheap handling law, with 40 million uses Nutrition Support Assistance ProgramAnd many are already working, according to analysts.
They were all told, CBO estimates At least 10.9 million people would go without health vaccines, and 3 million more would not be eligible for food seals.
The deeper reduction that would transfer cost sharing to the states was interviewed by Senate MPs and reforms. And more Medicaid changes are about debate-as well as the Senate's plan to reduce tariffs on the provider that many states force hospitals and other agencies.
Key GOP Senators and the Republican House alliance warn that low -duty Medicaid reduction will hurt rural hospitals. “We cannot support the final bill that threatens the coverage of vaccines,” members of the 16 GOP laws in a letter to the leadership.
Senators are considering the design of a new rural hospital fund, but the program remains a continuous task. They have also had any objections to a new $ 35 $ 35 payment on Medicaid Services.
Both housing and Senate bills propose a large back to Biden's Green Energy Taxes for electric vehicles and also the production of tariffs and company investments use the wind, the sun and other renewable energy projects.
They have all been told, medicaid cuts, food seals and green energy programs are expected to provide at least $ 1.5 trillion in savings.
What is the final cost?
In general, to put an existing tax break and a new addition is expected to cost $ 3.8 trillion per decade, the CBO says in its analysis of the house bill. The Senate draft is slightly high.
Expenditure reduces at least $ 1.5 trillion.
The CBO estimates a package from the house would add $ 2.4 trillion to the nation's deficit for a decade.
Or not, depending on how one makes the calculation.
Senate Republicans are proposing a unique strategy for not counting existing tariffs as a new cost, because it is already a “current policy.” They say that the Chairman of the Budget Committee has the authority to lay the foundation in his preference.
Under the views of the GOP Senate, the cost of tariff clauses will be $ 441 billion, according to the joint tax committee.
Democrats and some say that this is a “magic calculation” that hides the cost of GOP tariff breaks. The responsible Federal Budget Committee puts the Senate for $ 4.2 trillion for a decade.
“The basis of the current policy 'is the budget,” Senator Jeff Merkley, the top Democrat on the Budget Committee. “This bill will raise trillion over trillions of dollars in national debt to fund tax rest for billionaires.”
Trump, on his way to Europe for a NATO meeting, told the senators to lock in the room if needed, and “make the bill.”
