Republicans in the Senate delivered overnight until Saturday morning for approvalTax exemptions in millions of dollars and the framework of spending discountsIn the past, opposition to democracy has vanished towards whatPresident Donald TrumpThe “Grand and Beautiful Bill” is called essential in its agenda.

The vote, 51-48, was often along the party’s lines, but with sharp opposition from prominent Republicans. It cannot come in a more difficult political moment, withEconomyAfter sending the new Trump tariffArrows decreaseExperts warn of the high costs of consumers and threats to potential stagnation. I voted SNS. Susan Collins from Min and Rand Paul from Kentucky against the procedure.

butWith a sign from TrumpRepublican Party leaders held on. Approval paves the way for the Republicans in the coming months to try to operate a draft law to reduce taxes through both rooms of Congress due to Democrat’s objections, as they did in Trump’s first state with a unified party control in Washington.

“Let’s start voting,” said the majority leader of the Senate John Thun, Rurawi, on Friday night.

Democrats were determined to make a painful effort as political as possible, with about twenty amendments to the package that the Republican members of the Republican would have to defend before the mid -term elections next year.

Among them are proposals to prohibit tax exemptions for the wealthy people, the endTrump’s tariff,His efforts toShrinkThe federal government, protecting medical aid, social security and other services. One, in response toUse the Trump National Security team to signHe sought to ban military officials from using any commercial correspondence request to transfer war plans. They all failed, although acceptance of the Republican Party to protect medical care and medicaid.

Democrats accused the Republicans of setting the basis for lowering the main safety network programs to help pay more than $ 5 trillion of taxes that they say are inadvertently benefiting the wealthy.

“Trump’s policies are a catastrophe,” said the Democratic Leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer from New York, as is the case in the Ministry of Governmental Efficiency in Elon Musk. “Republicans can go out tonight, if they want.”

The Republicans have developed their work as preventing increased taxes for most American families, on the pretext that unless Congress is behaved, the individual is a tax on legislators, the Republican PartyPassIn 2017 it will end at the end of this year.

The Senate package wanders in the priorities of the Republican Party, including $ 175 billion to support Trump’s collective deportation voltage, which is less than money, and an additional $ 175 billion dollars to the Pentagon to build the army, fromBudget effort earlier.

Senator Wyoming John Pararasu, Republican No. 2, said that the voters gave his party an important in November, and provides a Senate budget plan.

“It fulfills our promises to secure borders, rebuild our economy, and restore peace through power,” Pararasu said.

The frame now goes home, where the speaker Mike Johnson, R. La can.

The House of Representatives and the Senate needs to resolve their differences. The percentage of the house is $ 4.5 trillion of tax collapses over 10 years and about 2 trillion dollars in budget cuts, and pointed to changes in medical stamps, food stamps and other programs. Some Republicans in the House of Representatives put forward the Senate approach.

Republican Senators used the majority of them in Swat, democracy amendments, and often in severe sound sounds.

Of more than twenty amendments made, there were many modifications that were made to protect safety network programs. Many Republicans, including Senator Josh Holie from Missouri, have joined Democrats to vote to preserve some of these programs, especially with regard to healthcare. Collins opposed the entire package in a warning against the very slope Medicaid discounts.

Collins said that the possible discounts of this health program in the draft law of the House of Representatives “will be very harmful to many families, disabled individuals and the elderly in my state.”

Paul asked about the mathematics used by his colleagues, who said he would accumulate on the burden of debt. He said: “Something suspicious.”

One of the Republicans, Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, expressed his concerns about the tax exemptions adding to the federal deficit and said he had assurances that Trump officials would seek discounts elsewhere.

He said: “This vote does not happen in a vacuum.”

One of the next decisive challenges will be for the House of Representatives to accept the way the Senate Budget Plan allows to extend tax cuts within the framework of the method of registering their dealings as not adding to the future deficit, which is rejected by many Republicans in the House of Representatives. A new estimate from the Joint Committee on Tax Projects, tax exemptions will add $ 5.5 trillion during the next decade when it guarantees interest, and $ 4.6 trillion does not include interest.

Moreover, Senate members added an additional $ 1.5 trillion that would allow some Trump campaign promises, such as the lack of taxes on advice, social security benefits and additional work, and the price swelling in general to 7 trillion dollars.

Republicans are also looking to increase a $ 10,000 discount for government and local taxes, something that lawmakers such as New York, California and New Jersey are necessary to support them.

The House of Representatives and the SenateIncrease debt limitTo allow more borrowing. The House of Representatives has strengthened the debt limit by 4 trillion dollars in its plan, but the Senate raised it to 5 trillion dollars to pay any other votes in this regard even after the mid -term elections.

The Senate calls for discounts in spending for only 4 billion dollars, but the leadership of the Republican Party confirms that this is the low floor and that the committees will be to search for more.

Indeed, Republican Party leaders face fears of financial falcons who want trillion dollars in spending discounts to help pay the price of tax exemptions. At the same time, dozens of legislators in swinging areas and countries are concerned about what these cuts mean for their components, and to obtain opportunities to re -election.

The Republican Party leadership encouraged a budget plan on the finish line, saying they had time to learn about the difficult questions included in tax exemptions and spending discounts.

The expansion of the 2017 break would reduce taxes to about three quarters of families, but raise it for about 10 %. In 2027, about 45 % of the benefit of all tax cuts will go to those who achieve approximately $ 450,000 or more,According toTo the Urban Tax Policy Center, which analyzes tax issues.
