The Republicans go to the White House because Trump's tax breaks are in trouble

Washington (AP) – The spokesman for House Johnson, who contradicted spokesman Mike Johnson from his ranks, insisted on Wednesday that the Republicans would march on their marching Multitrillion dollar tax industry package After a long meeting in the White House with Gop -Holdouts that refuses to support the bill.

Johnson and his GOP leadership team seemed confident that they would stick to their schedule and that the GOP support could support the final passage on Wednesday or Thursday “Big, beautiful bill.” However, the next steps are very uncertain.

“We are pleased that we will land this plane,” said Johnson, R-La., In the Capitol.

But when the evening hours occurred, the optimistic tone contradicted the unwieldy scene in Capitol. The rules of the rules brought through a marathon session that his 18 hour has passed while the trial wraps. Another Republican, the MP of Tennessee, John Rose, announced his opposition to the GOP bill. And Democrats use without the votes to stop Trump's package, talk all available tools and passionate speeches to urge their opposition and use the GOP.

“We believe that it is a large, ugly bill that will violate the American people,” said House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York when he and his team said in front of the committee.

“Injured children, injured families, injured veterans, injured seniors, lowered health care, lowered nutrition support and exploded the debt,” he said.

It is a make-or break moment for the president and his party in the congress. In the crucial first months of Trump's return from Trump to the White House, they invested a large part of their political capital in this legislation. If the Republicans agreed to the President and overcome uniform democratic objections, the measure would go to the Senate next.

Trump had flyed in the Capitol the day earlier to do it, but endured the holdouts. It is not at all clear what exactly was agreed – or not – during the long meeting on Wednesday in the White House. However, Johnson then indicated that Trump himself could carry out some of the goals that the congress cannot agree to in the legislative process.

A major problem was the preliminary contract with GOP legislators from New York and other high tax states to increase the deductions for local taxes to $ 40,000. But this costly provision, which meets hundreds of billions of dollars, alerted the most conservative Republicans, concerned that it would be contributing to the nation 36 US dollars owe.

He loses others for every faction of the slim majority that Johnson appeases.

MP Andy Harris, R-Md., The chairman of the hard right House Freedom Caucus, said before the White House meeting that he did not believe that the package could say goodbye, but “there is a way forward we can see.”

A new analysis of the Congress household office indicated Changes to MedicaidFood marks and other services would earn reduced expenditure of 1 trillion US dollar. Households with the lowest income in the USA would see that their resources decrease while the highest would see a thrust, said the CBO.

Shortly after midnight, the Republican called the hearing of the House Rules Committee, but Johnson's commemoration period for the House -Passage slipped when the legislator prepared for departure to vacation.

At its core, the package focuses on the expansion of the tax breaks that were approved during Trump's first term of office in 2017, and added new ones to which he classified during his 2024 campaign.

To compensate for some of the lost income, the Republicans focus on cuts for federal security networks and massive Rollback from the tax industry around green energy From the inflation reduction of biden era.

In addition, the package with 350 billion US dollars hits new expenses, with around 150 billion dollars going to the Pentagon, including the new president ” Defense sign Golden Dome ”and the rest for Trumps Mass shift and border security agenda.

The package title bears Trump's own words that ” A big beautiful Bill Act. “”

As Trump promised the voters, the package suggests No taxes on tips for certain employees, including those in some service industries; Automobilkreditz insenses; Or some overtime.

There would be an increase in the standard income tax deduction, $ 32,000 for joint filers and an increase in the tax credit for children to $ 2.500. For older adults of certain income levels, there would be an extended deduction of 4,000 US dollars to meet taxes on the income of social security.

In order to reduce expenses, the package would impose new work requirements for many people who receive health care through Medicaid. Adults without relatives would have to fulfill 80 hours a month with a job or other community activities.

Similarly, those who receive food brands about the supplementary nutritional program called SNAP would also be confronted with new work requirements.

Older Americans up to the age of 64 and not up to 54 who are capable and are dependent without relatives, the community programs would have to work for 80 hours a month or participate in the community programs. In addition, some parents of children would have to meet the work requirements older. According to applicable law, the requirement is made after children are 18 years old.

The Republicans said they wanted to have a waste, fraud and abuse in the federal programs.

The Congress budget office has estimated 8.6 million fewer people with the various changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. It also means that 3 million people would have fewer people per month.

Conservatives insist on faster, steeper cuts in federal programs to compensate for the costs of the trillion dollars of lost tax revenue. GOP leaders have accelerated the start date of the Medicaid work requirements from 2029 to 2027.

At the same time, more moderate and central legislators are careful with the changes to Medicaid, which can lead to lost health care for their voters. Others fear that the tax benefits for renewable energies will hinder companies in many states to invest in projects for environmentally friendly energy.

In addition, the legislators from New York, California and other high tax states wanted a larger state and local tax deduction called Salt for their voters at home.

As part of the up -and -coming salt contract, the deduction limit of 10,000 US dollars with an income limit of 500,000 USD would quadruple to $ 40,000, according to a person who was granted anonymity to discuss private discussions. The cap would be down after income above this level.

The committee for a responsible federal budget, an impartial Fiscal Watchdog group, estimates that the house law develops To add around 3.3 trillion dollars in the next decade.
