Washington – Republicans in the House of Representatives issued Budget Wednesday, which calls for a decrease of taxes by up to $ 4.5 trillion and sets a target to reduce federal spending by $ 2 trillion.
The scheme comes one day before the House of Representatives budget staff scheduled to consider it. If it is approved by the committee and the House of Representatives Chamber, the Republicans can start drafting a huge draft parties to pass the agenda of President Donald Trump.
Regarding the financing of immigration and border security, a higher priority than Trump, the decision gives the Judicial Committee, which oversees the immigration policy, $ 110 billion.
This is less than the Senate budget solution, which gives the Judicial Committee $ 175 billion to enforce immigration.
The decision will also raise the debt limit by 4 trillion dollars before the expected deadline later this year that Congress will act or risk the failure of economic payment in the country’s obligations.
He adds that “the aim of this simultaneous decision to reduce mandatory spending is $ 2 trillion,” referring to part of the US budget that includes medical care, medicaid, Snap benefits and more.
If the House of Representatives fails to find 2 trillion dollars in reducing the deficit, the decision says that the delegations of the committee and the means of the committee amounting to $ 4.5 trillion “must be reduced by a proportional amount to compensate the difference.” Conservatives in the House of Representatives demanded more severe discounts.
“This budget decision is a major step to start the process in presenting the agenda of President Trump Oleer America,” Parliament Speaker Mike Johnson, R. La. , He said in a statement. “With almost every fans, he participates directly in this deliberative process, this decision reflects our collective commitment to the age of the full president’s agenda – and not just part of it.”
“There will be continuous discussions and discussions in the coming weeks, and we are still focusing on work through the process to provide our promises to the American people. There is still a lot of work to do, but we started on the right path, Johnson said.
Representative Brendan Boyle, De Pa, refused to the Budget Committee, the proposal.
“This republican plan is not just a bad policy – it betrays the middle class. Boyle said in a statement that“ their proposal controls the decisive programs on which millions of diligent Americans depend, with the addition of trillion dollars to the inability to threaten the massive gifts of giant companies and billionaires such as Elon Musk. ” .
The decision of the Republican Party’s budget in the House of Representatives will need to vote the majority to pass the budget committee before it can go to the full House of Representatives, where Republicans have a thin majority from 218 to 215 (and they have no hope to obtain democratic voices). The house is scheduled for next week.
Meanwhile, the Senate Budget Committee began moving forward on Thursday to solve the budget. The Chairman of the Committee, Senator Lindsey Graham, RS.C, criticized the Republican Party Party to allow less migration funding than $ 175 billion, which was called by Trump Tom Human’s borders.
“They do not listen to the administration as they need,” Graham said on Wednesday. “I am comfortable with $ 175 billion,” he said. “Now it’s not time to go to cheap to secure the border … I would like to hear why they should get half of what they asked.”
But Johnson insisted that the house needs to move first.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, criticized the Republican Party’s budget plan.
“Republicans are withdrawing one quick one on the workers by reaching their pockets to pay the price of billionaire bulletins,” she said in a statement. ))
The “budget settlement” process, which gives Republicans the ability to overcome the 60 -year -old curtain base in the Senate, is separate from the deadline for government financing on March 14 to avoid closure, which will require an agreement between the two parties between the two parties.
