President Donald Trump exhorted Republican colleagues in the United States on Tuesday to advance his bill on tax cup and his expenses, while party wrinkles and moderate proposed spending compression.
Republican leaders are pushing to get what Trump calls for his major Congress bill and his office before the holidays on July 4. The bill would add thousands of billions to the national debt of $ 36.2 billions of dollars.
The Senate Republicans disagree on the details of the bill. Some want to make fewer cuts in social programs, including Medicaid Healthcare for low -income Americans, while the rich want to reduce deep expenditure to limit the growth of the federal deficit.
Some legislators said he could take until August to adopt the bill.
“This rural hospital thing really becomes a brake,” the Republican senator Josh Hawley of Missouri told journalists. It referred to provisions that rural hospitals fear that their funding would reduce their funding and that some cease operations.
The Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, which faces a potentially difficult re -election campaign in 2026, told journalists that a possible proposal aimed at creating a 100 billion dollars hospital will not be enough to maintain these facilities in full operation.
Another influential republican, senator Susan Collins of Maine, who is also re -election of next year, told journalists that she was still concerned about the financing of the bill for Medicaid in general.
“To my friends from the Senate, lock yourself up in a room if you have to, do not go home and agree this week. Work with the house to be able to recover and transmit it, immediately. No one goes on vacation until it is done,” said Trump in an article on social networks.
The Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, who attended a republican Senate lunch on Tuesday, said the congress was on the right track to respect the deadline of July 4.
“I am convinced that the Senate goes to the room will move very quickly to the House,” said Bessent.
The emerging legislation of the Senate would extend the expired provisions of Trump 2017 tax reductions, would finance its repression against immigration and stimulate military spending.
The Senate bill would also increase the ceiling of the federal debt by an additional $ 5 billion, adding pressure for action while the government is heading for a “x” date for a potentially catastrophic defect this summer.
“We are approaching the warning track,” said Bessen to journalists.
‘Debt Buster’
The version adopted last month by the House of Representatives could increase the federal deficit by at least 2.8 billions of dollars, despite an increase in economic activity, announced last week the budget of the non -partisan congress budget.
Independent analysts predict that the Senate version would cost more.
“The Republicans know that their plan is a debt buster, but they do not seem to worry about it,” said journalists the Democrat chief of Senate Chuck Schumer in New York. “They put this country in debt with tax discounts,” he added. “They know it.”
The head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, said that his room was on the right track to adopt the bill this week. House president Mike Johnson said his room would then take the legislation quickly. The Republicans control the two chambers of the Congress.
“Hopefully when Push arrives in Shove and everyone has to say” yes “or” no “, we will get the number of votes we need,” said Thune, citing the radical number of republican priorities in legislation.
The debate has been aggravated by a series of opinions from the non -partisan parliamentarian of the Senate, which directs the elements of the bill in accordance with the procedures that the Republicans use to bypass Leobustter of 60 Senate vote. The bill cannot adopt without bypassing the filibusier because the solid opposition of the Democrats of the Senate will not allow it to collect 60 votes in the Senate with 100 places.
The parliamentarian blocked the provisions that would reduce expenses for financial childcare dogs, allowed offshore and oil gas projects to bypass environmental examinations and savings savings of food aid programs for poor and the elimination of green tax credits.
These decisions caused the alarm among the republican rights of the Chamber, which could block the legislation if it returns to their room with these absent provisions.
“It seems to me that the parliamentarian kills the bill. She eliminates all the conservative expenditure reductions that we, with an edge of a razor, was adopted in the house,” said representative Keith Self, an eminent Durliner.
Thune has repeatedly excluded the possibility of replacing the parliamentarian, whose role is largely considered by legislators as vital for the integrity of the Senate.
But the Republicans were able to gain the approval of the parliamentarian by revising the language of certain previously blocked provisions.
