WASHINGTON – Republicans in the Senate are heat for an idea that includes an increase in the roof of the debt in The Big Party Line bill To pay President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The majority leader of the Senate, John Thun, told the Republican Senate that he is now open to raise the debt limit in a broader spending package, according to a source familiar with his talks. This turned into the Thnee towards the budget plan adopted by the Republicans in the House of Representatives, which included an increase in the maximum debt worth $ 4 trillion.
In contrast, the separate budget plan for the Senate has avoided this issue, one of the many major conflicts between the two procedures to provide financing for Trump’s policy priorities. But now, while the Trump administration is pushing the rooms to solve its differences, some Republican Senators change their melody after initially preferred to address the issue of debt limit separately.
“I am preparing for it,” Senator Todd Young, R-IND, told NBC News about an increase in debt limit in the bill.
Young said he wanted a financial committee or a “implemented plan” to address the problems of long -term sheet in medical care and social security, saying it would be “unreasonable” to pass the budget process “and not to adhere to its role.”
Senator Jim Al -Adl said, rw.va. , It can “may” vote to raise the debt limit in the bill, but he wants to spend spending alongside it.
Thun also told the members that he preferred to solve the settlement budget with the House of Representatives, which can be voted on during the week from April 7, an important important concession after the Republican Senate members indicated earlier that the two councils would pass separate bills and negotiate later.
The Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, Lindsay Graham, said RS. It is working on a new budget decision that will take it directly to the ground without holding a hearing. Senator Kevin Kramer, RN.D, said that voting in the full Senate may happen early next week.
The Trump administration seeks to resolve the differences between the Senate Budget Plan of $ 340 billion, which addresses the immigration, army and energy policy, and the parliament plan, which includes $ 4.5 trillion in tax cuts in addition to addressing these issues.
Treasury Secretary Scott Besense held a meeting on Tuesday with White House Economic Adviser Kevin Haysit, Thne, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R. La, and Chairs of the Writing Committees, Senator Mike Crabo, R-R-Idaho, and Jason Smith, R-MO.
After the meeting, Thne told the correspondents that there is a “consensus that is formed” on the idea of adding the maximum religion to the draft law, saying it is “clearly a favorite result.”
He said: “It was a very constructive and fruitful conversation, and a kind of sharpening in the final issues that we have to decide.”
in New report It was released on Wednesday, and I expect the Congress Budget Office that the deadline of the legislators will be to dispose of the roof of debt or failure to pay the risks on American obligations in August or September.
The report said: “The Central Bank of Oman estimates that if the debt limit remains unchanged, it is possible that the government’s ability to borrow will be exhausted using” unusual measures “in August or September 2025”, while warning that “the history of X” may be early in May or June, depending on tax groups and lines.
The official deadline will be determined by the Ministry of Treasury.
Senator John Corn, R-TEXAS, said he is ready to accept the height of the $ 4 trillion council in the draft law but wants to spend spending. He said the deadline can help Congress to act.
“We are not doing things without a deadline,” he said.
If Republican Congress leaders try to pass a debt ceiling increase in a separate bill, they will need democratic support to cross the 60 -Senate threshold. By trying to include it in the alleged “reconciliation” bill, they can pass it with a simple majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate led by the Republican Party.
But raising the roof of the debt with the voices of the republic is easier than doing it – especially with the narrow majority at home, which includes Dozens of legislators Those who have never voted to raise the borrowing limit. Conservative alternate says they are open to it-if Congress can reduce spending on boredom trillion dollars.
This also proves that it is a challenge. The decision of the House of Representatives’s budget from the Energy and Trade Committee requires a reduction in spending by $ 880 billion, but the Central Bank of Oman said it is It is impossible to achieve this goal without cutting medical care or medicaid Hundreds of billions of dollars. Some Republicans in the swinging areas have expressed his reluctance to reduce Medicine.
After Tuesday’s meeting, Crabo refused to say whether they had discussed what to do about Medicare or Medicaid, and told the reporters: “I am not talking about what is going on in my meetings.”
In addition, there is a question of how to make tax cuts at the end of Trump’s expiration, which will cost an estimated $ 4.6 trillion over a decade. Senate budget budgets require Congress to pay the price of tax cuts to make them permanent, but Republicans have no hope to find savings at this level. So, instead, they are Looking at a new accounting technology To determine the cost of extending these tax exemptions at zero dollars, a step that Democrats insist that they will fight.
But this is a difficult situation for the Republicans, because they will not know whether this new accounting way will be allowed until they vote to adopt a new budget that you use. Parliament in the Senate, the internal judgment that settles on conflicts in the budget process, will have to judge them.
Graham said, “Well, this will not happen until you have an invoice,” Graham said. “She cannot judge in a virtual state, right? So we will have to move the bill and decision, then you will tell us.”
Pesent said that Trump’s tax discounts for 2017 was a priority.
He said: “The American people gave this administration a clear mandate to restore the prosperity of our nation – distinguished taxes, the greater gain of salaries, and a stronger economy.” “I am devoted to working with Congress to make President Trump’s historical tax cuts and revive the American dream. Today’s productive meeting gives me confidence that the rapid time frame is achieved.”
