On Wednesday, President Trump supported the proposal of Republicans in the House of Representatives to move forward in one plan of comprehensive policy and tax reduction plan, which led to the rejection of the efforts of Republicans in the Senate to create its agenda to smaller parts in the room.
On his website, Mr. Trump said he prefers the home approach and “a beautiful, beautiful bill” because “it implements the full agenda of America, everything, not only parts of it!”
He continued: “We need both councils to pass the budget of the house.”
The President’s comments did only a few months that lasted for Capitol Hill about the best ways to launch his sweeping legislative agenda, which includes enforcement of the boundaries and a set of tax cuts.
Republicans in the Senate said that they intend to continue their tactic, which is to advance the agenda of Mr. Trump in the pieces-by transferring a draft law to enforce borders first-and expressed their doubts that the Republicans, the two councils, who were calling bitter mercy, will be able to reconcile their differences to produce Final product.
“He has long made it clear that he prefers a big and beautiful bill, and we are also well.” “If the house is able to produce one large and beautiful invoice, we are ready to work with them to get this through the finish line. But we believe that the president loves the choice.”
Mr. Trump’s announcement came a few hours after giving conflicting directives to Congress Republicans on how to move forward with regard to the social safety network programs.
On the emergence of Tuesday evening on Fox News, Mr. Trump was determined that there should be no discounts in the Medicaid program, the poor health care program in America, or other entitlement programs.
“The social security will not be touched, unlike this fraud or something we will find,” he said. “It will be reinforced, but it will not be touched. Medicare, medicaid, none of these things will be touched.”
But by the next morning, Mr. Trump was supporting the budget budget bill in the House of Representatives, which contains deep discounts on medical aid on the table.
The clear contradiction is one thing: the budget process is about to be increasingly chaotic.
“You have a lot of people who talk about financial responsibility and cut off forever, and then they cannot refer to anything they really feel,” said Maya Makinias, head of the non -party committee for a responsible federal budget. , Who says that Congress needs serious about treating the debts of the country, which is worth $ 36 trillion.
She said, “Reducing spending and raising taxes is not common.” “Do not exercise and eat healthy. We make some short decisions in terms of continuing to increase debt.”
Republicans are trying to make a difficult content participation in their efforts to expand the scope of Mr. Trump of $ 4 trillion in proposed tax cuts. But they want to do this without increasing American debts, Which has risen to record levels. To bridge the gap, they will need to find deep discounts elsewhere in the budget.
To date, Republicans in the House of Representatives are looking for a set of changes facing Medicaid, including limiting the amount that the federal government pays to the states, which may save the federal government hundreds of millions.
Democrats have sought to focus the public’s attention on the fact that the plan opens the door for discounts to medicaid, the polling programs are very popular.
“Mathematics does not add what is up and the only way that he will be able to do is the match after Madikad,” said Senator Peter Wellsh, Democrat in Vermont, on Wednesday. “It is really a horrific agenda.”
The budget of the House of Representatives sets extensive spending targets according to the committee, but it does not mention specific discounts. The plan guides the Energy and Trade Committee, which oversees Medicaid, to reach discounts of at least $ 880 billion. List of wishes distributed by the Parliament Budget Committee It contains many options to reshape Medicaid, which covers 72 million poor and handicapped. Many of her suggestions focus on different ways to make state governments pay more.
Mr. Trump was never the model of consistency. He held contradictory positions in a wide range of issues, including abortion, affordable care law, state discounts and local taxes, and the main provisions of the Foreign Intelligence Monitoring Law, to name a few.
However, the issue of if the Medicaid will be made to free money for tax discounts in particular.
The spokesman Mike Johnson supported the addition of work requirements to Medicaid and reduced waste, but he said this situation does not contradict the president’s point of view.
Mr. Johnson, a Republican Louisiana, said at a recent news conference:
He added: “If you add work requirements to Medicaid, this is logical to people. It is a common sense.”
