WASHINGTON – Republican leaders in the House of Representatives are racing to withdraw a flat bill for President Donald Trump’s business schedule through the finish line, even with the dug and the main issues remain without a solution.
The House of Representatives rules committee started discussing millions of dollars in local policy package after 1 am on Wednesday, which is the last step before heading to the full room. The spokesman Mike Johnson, R, said. He hopes that the House of Representatives will vote on the legislation and send it to the Senate as soon as on Wednesday evening.
The leaders of the Republican Party are strongly working to resolve the ongoing conflicts between the warring factions that carried the package. It is worth noting that the anti -spending hawks have been pushed for the most severe discounts, while a bloc of legislators in blue countries demanded a greater discount for the state and the local.
Trump is called “one beautiful draft law”, which is a 1100 -page illegal legislation that expands the presidential discounts of the President of 2017, enhances spending on migration and army enforcement, and leads to discounts in areas such as Medicaid and clean energy tax credits. It also raises the debt limit by $ 4 trillion.
The Essential Series Committee session at 1 am caused criticism from Democrats that the Republican Party was trying to push the bill in “The Dead of Night”.
“I described it as a vampire committee because it seems to absorb all health care away from the Americans in the middle of the night,” said Representative Theresa Le Leijar Fernadiz, a member of the committee.
Republicans defended the hearing in the early morning, with Representative Virginia Fox, RN.C, Chairman of the Rules Committee, on the pretext that he had a long history of approval of the draft laws “after a long period of most of America went to bed.” But starting at midnight, GoP also gives an opportunity to pay the bill across the home on the same day-before the date of the memorial day imposed by Johnson.
“I think we’re going to land the plane,” Johnson reporters told reporters on Tuesday evening between meetings with the Republican Party.
Republicans can only lose three votes from the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, given their narrow majority before the package is at risk of collapse. They have already lost MP Thomas Massi, R-Ky. , The only member who opposed it on every step on the road, noting the trillion dollars that will add it to the national debt.
Before the session of the Rules Committee, the Office of the Non -Parties Congress Analysis It was found that the legislation would negatively affect the lowest income and benefit the richest Americans. Specifically, the Central Bank of Oman said that the draft law will reduce home resources from the twelve income people by 4 %, while increasing the family resources between the top twelve income people by 2 % by 2023.
However, the leaders of the Republican Party are moving forward. Trump He made a trip to the Capitol On Tuesday, to urge Republicans in the House of Representatives to the union behind the draft law.
“I think we will do it,” Trump said. “I do not lose patience. We are before the specified date.”
Late Tuesday night, Johnson seemed to conclude in a deal with a bloc of Republican in the blue state Solve a thorny tax issue.
According to the initial deal, according to four sources from the Republican Party, the maximum that individuals can oppose in the state and local taxes (SALT) will be raised to $ 40,000 per year-with an increase in the original proposal rejected by Republicans in the Blue State. This is a huge increase in the maximum of $ 10,000 in Trump Tax Discounts Law for the year 2017.
The sources said that those who make less than $ 500,000 a year will be qualified to obtain a tax discount. Each maximum and income level will increase by 1 percent annually for 10 years, and at this point these numbers will become the new basis line, which means that the level of income and the level of income will not return to the previous levels after a period of 10 years.
During his meeting in the Capitol, Trump urged Republicans supporting the salt to back down from their demands. But the negotiations continued throughout the day in the spokesman’s office, and MP Elise Stefanick, RN.Y, went to the White House on Tuesday to help secure the high salt offer, one of the sources of the Republican Party said.
However, conservative eager scattered skeptics were skeptical of high salt cover as they prompted the implementation of work requirements for restrictions and overcoming some tax credits for clean energy, as well as other spending discounts.
“I think we are actually away from the deal because this limit of salt is increasing,” said Andy Harris, Chairman of the House Freedom Board of Directors.
“This bill is getting worse overnight,” he said. “There is no way to pass today … We may need a few weeks to settle everything.”
Even if the Republicans in the House of Representatives can pass the party package, it will have a long way before it. Republicans in the Senate Pledge To the legislation, which the House of Representatives will then need to be approved before it goes to the Trump office.
Democrats have detonated Trump’s legislation as a “Republican Party tax fraud” and “Grand Understanding”, warning that it would reduce stabbing and critical food programs while handing over the tax exemptions to the wealthy.
“As a result of this bill, approximately 14 million Americans will lose health care, and millions of others will pay higher premiums, common paths and discounts. Hospitals will be closed, the elderly care homes will be closed and people will die.”
“This is the draft law makes the largest dietary assistance clip in American history. It takes food from the mouths of children, the elderly, old warriors and persons with disabilities.”
The Central Bank of Oman expected that 8.6 million will lose its coverage as a result of the legislation. Senior Democrats amplifies the number by calculating additional coverage losses if the improved OBAMACARE tax credits expires, but it was appointed after 2025 under the law to reduce inflation.
