Republicans forge their tax bill in Trump's image, with “Maga accounts” and more

Washington – Days before the Republicans unveiled their comprehensive tax cutting plan, the chairman of the mighty paths and center committees had a last person he consulted. He went to the White House, where he and President Donald Trump went through the legislation “Line to Line”.

“He was very satisfied with what we deliver,” said Rep. Jason Smith, a Republican from Missouri.

Trump had every reason to be satisfied. His impression is over on the bill and begins with his title – the “A big beautiful Bill Act”.

The legislation recognizes many of Trump's campaign promise that temporarily end taxes and tips for many employees, generate a new tax benefits of $ 10,000 for car loans for cars for cars and even create a new tax-free “Maga account”-an allusion to its “Make America Great” movement. This would contribute 1,000 US dollars for children who were born in his second term.

The contours of the legislative package inspired by Trump not only reflect the President's significant influence on the Republican Party, but also the hard political realities in the house, in which the Republicans only have the western majorities and often find it difficult to find a consensus without Trump.

“He is enthusiastic about our forward progress,” said Johnson. “You know, I keep him over the developments and he had a busy time there in the Middle East and it was good – he is in a good atmosphere and we are in a good mood.”

The Republican invoice operates a whopping 1,116 pages and comprises tax cuts of more than 5 trillion US dollars, costs, some of which are compensated for by expenses of cuts elsewhere and other changes to the Tax Act. Legislation would make tax cuts from Trump's first term in office permanently and at the same time reduce financing for programs with food aid, financing of universities and environmental protection.

In the course of the law on the legislative template, the Republicans, especially between the fiscal Hawks, which are most concerned about federal deficits and others who focus more on the effects of cuts at home.

Here Trump usually comes into play and plays the “tight”, which does not turn any voices.

“President Trump tried to ask us:” Are there members that I should call? Someone I want to talk to? “And he then calls her immediately,” said Steve Scalisene, R-La, House majority leader. “He was incredibly practical and incredibly helpful to bring the bill to where it is.”

Trump's participation seems to grow certainly when Johnson works to bring the tax package through the house with a self -imposed period of the commemorative day.

The conservatives slowed down the trial on Friday and refused to get the tax package out of the House Budget Committee until it included a faster implementation of Medicaid changes and a more wholesale cancellation of Green Energy Credits from Biden era. She swores to keep tight until her demands are met.

Trump noticed and exposed pressure before the hammer went down the coordination of the failed committee.

“We don't need stands in the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on social media. “Stop talking and do it!”

The negotiations over the weekend were expected, with the household committee restored late Sunday evening in the hope of a breakthrough.

MP Mike Rogers, R-Ala., Chairman of the Committee on Armed Forces of the House, predicted that the tax package is ultimately exceeded via the finish line as soon as Trump-Nur returns from a tour of the Middle East, skeptical legislator.

“You may have noticed that he likes to speak on the phone,” said Rogers.

Add Rep. Tim Burchett from Tennessee: “I think the only way we are up to date with Trump.”

The close coordination with the Republican leaders is in a strong contrast to Trump's first term when the party put a number of personal and physical tax relief for the first time. The Republicans quickly cobbled this tax package at the end of 2017 after a catastrophic attempt to fulfill their central election promise – the lifting and replacement of the law on affordable care, which is often referred to as Obamacare.

This time, the adjutants of the White House regularly brought into contact with the GOP legislators, since the tax calculation progresses through designs and surcharges and highlights programs that overtake them and provisions they want to add or shorten them.

The president “is much more advisable what happens than the first time because he and the leadership of the congress in 2017 did not see any eyes to see,” said Scalisue. “He didn't necessarily want health care to be the first thing that was done, and yet it was. This time we spoke a lot before he was sworn in to ensure that we were all on the same side.”

Trump first began to set the course of the current legislative strategy of the GOP in January when he posted on social media that the Republicans should say goodbye to “a powerful invoice” that was supposed to tackle all the party's priorities instead of dividing the agenda into two packages.

The Republicans of the Senate argued for another approach. They asked the rapid adoption of a legislation to provide the Pentagon and Trump's immigration clamp billions and said that a second tax package could wait until later.

Trump fluctuated for a while and gave Republicans on the Capitol Hill mixed signals about the best approach. But his original preference for a bill was won at the end, also because the Republicans of the house insisted that their chamber could not do it any other way.

Democrats are uniform against the package, but have little power to prevent it from becoming laws when the Republicans remain uniform. While they continue to deal with the loss of the party in the elections of the past year, the Democrats have worked on mobilizing the public opposition to the draft law and decrypting it as a giveaway for the rich, which were paid for with cuts against healthcare and other social services.

The Republicans have now endeavored to advance and bring the tax package to the Senate, with the hope of bringing it to Trump's desk until July fourth.

Burchett said that “everyone rises in just outrage” while the Republicans start “to get to the table” as soon as Trump is fully committed.

“It's like an NBA basketball game,” said Burchett. “Don't look at the game. Just wait until the last two minutes and then switch on the TV.”
