We will not accept your Trump agenda calculation without any changes

Washington – When the Republicans of the Republicans after the votes to say goodbye to a massive legislative template for President Donald Trump's agenda, her colleagues from the Senate make it clear that the emerging package is not written when it reaches them.

Senator John Hoeven, Rn.d.

“No. We will make changes,” said Hoeven. “We spoke to the house and there are many things we agree on. … but there will be changes in a number of areas.”

It would not be surprising that the members of the house will find out that their senate colleagues want to put their own fingerprints on the final multitrillion dollar package. However, the Republican senators have already started to identify a large number of provisions in the domestic measure that aim at revisions – from Medicaid concerns to the cleaning of energy promotion to spectrum policy and the entire red ink.

Senator Ron Johnson, R-WIS.

“I don't see a scenario in which it will be deficit -neutral. That is my problem,” he told NBC News. “Due to my calculation, this will increase the deficit by 4 trillion US dollars.”

“The amount that you want to reduce for the expenses is about 1.3%. It is a rounding error. It is completely inadequate,” said Johnson, when he insists that the federal expenditure is at least reduced to the pre-pandemic level.

The Republicans have 53 senators, which means that they can only lose three votes before the legislative template collapses in the chamber because they have no hope of gaining democrats. You have Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky, who wants to have steeper cuts. And Democrats change the heat in GOP tests to reduce energy finance in the law on inflation reduction, which emphasizes the economic and national security services of the law 2022.

Senator Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, led a letter to the majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, Rs.d., with three other Republicans last month, which were to be issued to the “termination” of certain cred energy tax loans in 2022.

The House Committee, which is commissioned by writing the tax provisions of the package, to lift significant subsidies for electric vehicles, and intends to exclude other incentives for clean energy tax, which were passed in the Inflation Reducation Act, which was signed by the then President Joe Biden into the law.

On Wednesday, Murkowski NBC News, John Curtis, R-Utah, Thom Tillis, R-NC and Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, clearly shared that we had to apply a careful approach to energy tax loans and make sure that we do not lose some of the good investments we built. “

Senator Josh Hawley, R-Mo.

“I will not support Medicaid Benefit Cuts,” Hawley told NBC News on Tuesday and added that he had “concerns about the pieces” of the house bill because it would mean rural hospitals in his state.

Later he wrote on X: “I don't want rural hospitals to close their doors because the financing has been reduced. I also don't like the idea of ​​a hidden tax on the working arms. Therefore I am in its current form a no on this house bill.”

Hawley's concerns are shared by both Murkowski and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Main, who voted against the household framework last month, which cited concerns about the damage to the damage to the damage to their state.

Another topic that the Republicans of the Senate want to revise are provisions that the chairman of energy and trade, Brett Guthrie, R-Ky.

“I had the chance to actually look at the language in the Spectrum problem. It has to be clearly corrected,” said Senator Mike Rounds, Rs.d.

Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb.

The spokesman Mike Johnson, R-La.

Senator Thom Tillis, Rn.C., who will be re-elected in a competitive state next year, said that the Senate had to check the homeland in Medicaida cuts, clean energy field and other guidelines before making a decision.

Tillis also said that the Senate is not enthusiastic about the guideline of the Design of the House Act for the state and local tax deduction to $ 10,000. Unlike in the house, there are no GOP senators in the high-tax blue states in which “salt” is a major problem.

“I think this is an area in which we are taken into account,” said Tillis.
