The Republican -led US Senate barely approved President Donald Trump’s tax -spending bill, a widespread legislation victory that eliminates key domestic priorities by increasing national debt by $ 3.3 trillion.
This package includes deep tax deduction, infrastructure funding, and extension of defense spending, which marks one of the biggest increase in federal spending in decades.
The bill is now returning to the House of Representatives for final approval, where Republican resistance pockets against Senate changes can make it difficult to pass. Trump wants to sign it on Friday, July 4, until Independence Day, and House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement that his purpose was to meet the deadline.
The move will extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, increasing the new tax breaks for income from indicators and income from overtime salaries and costs on military and immigration implementation. This will also reduce the cost of food assistance for the Medicated Health Program and low -income Americans.
The legislation has divided the Republican’s rapidly growing.236.2 trillion loans, and the federal government’s self -imposed loan limit will be increased by $ 5 billion. The Congress should increase the cap at any time in the coming months or there is a risk of destructive default.
John Thoon, the majority of the Senate leader, celebrated the victory of Republicans’ legislation, and said the bill would “permanently rescue taxes for hard -working Americans … which would encourage more jobs and opportunities for economic growth and US workers.”
The Senate approved the move in the 51-50 vote that Vice President JD Venus broke the tie after breaking the tie after three Republicans – Thoma Tles of North Carolina, Susan Collins and Kentucky’s Rand Paul.
The vote came after a night of debate in which the Republican gave birth to its impact on the bill price tag and US health care system. It was not immediately clear what changes to the last minute were made to address these concerns.
Most of the horse trading was intended to win against Alaska’s Republican Senator Lisa Merkowski, indicating that she would vote against the bill without change.
The final Senate’s final bill included two provisions, which helped secure its vote: one that sends maximum food aid funds to Alaska and several other states, and the other provides 50 billion in rural hospitals to deal with clean deductions.
Not a financial obligation
Votes in the House, where the Republican 220-212 has a majority, is likely to be closer.
“This is a huge bill. There is something for everyone,” Trump said in a program in Florida on Tuesday. “And I think it’s running very well in the house.”
An initial version passed with just two votes in May, and several house Republicans have said they do not support the Senate version, which will increase the national debt by $ 800 billion in compared to the House version, according to the Congress’ unpaid budget office estimates.
Republicans have struggled to balance the demands of hard -working conservatives to reduce the effects of moderate lawmakers to reduce the effects of the impact on the deficit, that medical deductions can hurt their circles, including the service cut in the country.
House Freedom Cox, a group of hard -working conservatives who repeatedly threatened to stop their support for the tax bill, criticized the tag of the Senate version.
The group said on Monday, “This is not a financial responsibility. This is not what we agree with.”
A group of more moderate House Republicans, especially those who represent low -income areas, have objected to medical deductions in the Senate plan.
Republicans have also struggled to appease a handful of house Republicans from high tax states, including New York, New Jersey and California, who have demanded major tax breaks for state and local tax payments.
Nevertheless, House Republicans face a lot of pressure to conform to Trump in the coming days.
Tax break, immigration crackdown, strict benefits
The bill will eliminate many of the Democratic President Joe Biden’s green energy privileges.
It will also tighten the ability of food and health security net programs. Non -Partisian analysts say it will effectively reduce the income of poor Americans and increase their costs for food and health care.
Non -Partisian analysts have said that the increase of bills in the national debt effectively works as a transfer of wealth to the young Americans from underage, said non -Partisian analysts, because its impact will lead to economic growth, high borrowing costs and a reduction in government funds in the coming decades.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Shammer said the vote “made the chamber embarrassed,” he said, adding that the bill would take away food from the mouths of hungry children and take away health care from millions of Americans. “
Republicans dismiss the cost of the CBO’s long -standing procedure. Nevertheless, foreign bond investors look at the privileges to be different from the US treasury as the deficit is deep.
Trump has eliminated Rep Taleis, who voted against the bill, said on Sunday that he would not elect again next year for re -election when Trump did not re -elect him on social media.
