Trump goes to Capitol Hill to push “big, beautiful” bill

Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump Go to Capitol Hill in the early Tuesday to seal the deal for his “big, beautiful bill”, and uses the power of political conviction to combine shared republicans of the house Multitrillion dollar package That means the collapse fails In front of planned voices this week.

Trump has GOP -HOLDOUTS fly to “stop talking and do it”. But negotiations conclude and it is not at all clear that the package with its comprehensive tax reliefs and Cuts to MedicaidFood marks and Green energy programsIf the support of the slim republican majority of the house, which is also asked to add to Trump's border security, deportation and defense agenda, around 350 billion US dollars.

Conservatives insist on faster, steeper cuts in federal programs to compensate for the costs of the trillion dollars of lost tax revenue. At the same time, a core group of legislators from New York and other high tax states want major tax reliefs for their voters at home. The concerns about the 36 trillion US dollars are strong.

“I think it's pretty obvious that you will take more time,” said Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.

“These are complicated problems with trillion dollars,” he said. “We have to do this thing right.”

Trump's visit to meet the Republicans of the House at their weekly conference meeting takes place at a crucial moment and tests the president's deal-made powers. House spokesman Mike Johnson It is determined to promote the bill and needs Trump to give the dynamics, either by encouragement or political warnings or a combination of both.

With the house democrats against the package, GOP leaders have almost no votes. An important hearing of the committee is hoping for a vote of the House Floor on Wednesday afternoon in the middle of the night.

Democrats argue that the package is hardly more than an giveaway for the rich at the expense of health and nutrition programs that Americans rely on.

“They literally try to keep the health care of millions of Americans away at that moment in the dead of the night,” said Hakeem Jeffries from New York.

“If this legislation is supposed to improve life for the American people, can someone explain to me why they would stop a hearing to advance the invoice at 1 p.m.?”

Trump has urged the Republicans to unite behind the draft law, which was unique Formed in his picture As a signature initiative of the president in the congress.

The A extensive 1,116-page package wears Trump's title that “” A big beautiful Bill ActAs well as its campaign promises to extend the tax benefits approved during his first term while adding new ones, including No taxes on tipsCar loan interest and social security.

However, the price increases and the legislator is careful with the upcoming voices, especially as the Economic economics patients with uncertainty.

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.

The Republicans, who criticized the measure, argued that the new expenditure and tax reductions of the draft law were available, while the measures to compensate for the costs are charged.

In particular, conservative Republicans want to accelerate the new work requirements that Republicans want to issue for daring participants in Medicaid. They had to start on January 1, 2029, but the GOP majority leader Steve Scalisue said on CNBC that the work requirements for some Medicaid -privileged would begin in early 2027.

It is expected that at least 7.6 million people take out health insurance as part of the first changes to Medicaid, the referee budget office announced last week.

Republican holding outs also want to reduce the tax breaks for environmentally friendly energy in bidges in bidea-era inflation and have now been approved for projects for renewable energies across the country.

But for every change that Johnson takes into account for the appeasement of the hardworking conservatives, he is to lose support from more traditional and more centrist republicans. Many have registered against letters that protested with deep cuts against medicaid and food aid programs and the return of Clean Energy Tax credits.

In essence, the extensive legislative package extends permanently The existing income tax cuts And bolstered the standard deduction, increases it to $ 32,000 for common filers and the tax credit for children to $ 2,500.

The New Yorkers are fighting for a larger state and local tax deduction that goes beyond the proposal of the law. It looks like it would triple the invoice, which currently has an upper limit for the state and local tax deduction of 10,000 US dollars and increases it to $ 30,000 for common filers with income of up to $ 400,000 per year. You have proposed a deduction of 62,000 US dollars for individual filers and $ 124,000 for common filers.

If the legislation passes the house this week, it would move to the Senate, where the Republicans also have changes in mind.
