The Senator of the Republican party says that the resistance to Trump’s ‘great and beautiful bill’ could stop him in the Senate

President Donald Trump and President Mike Johnson hope for minimal modifications in the Senate to the “large and beautiful bill” approved by the Chamber last week, but a Republican senator said there is enough resistance to stop the bill unless there are significant changes.

“The first objective of our budgetary reconciliation process should be to reduce the deficit. This actually increases,” Senator Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, said the “state of the union” of CNN on Sunday, urging the deepest expenses of expenses than those of the bill to restart a “reasonable pre-peer spending level”.

“I think we have enough to stop the process until the president takes seriously the reduction of expenses and the reduction of the deficit,” said Johnson.

Republicans are using a budget tactic called Reconciliation, which requires only a simple majority to pass, to obtain the package through both cameras and the Trump desktop. But any change in the Senate would require the bill to return to the Chamber, where it was approved by only a vote between a republican conference divided last week.

The speaker Johnson made the rounds in the Sunday interview programs this week to defend the bill and encourage the Senate to approve it without too many changes.

“I encourage you, you know, to do your job, of course, as we all anticipate. But make as much modifications possible to this package, because remembering that we have to pass it once again to ratify your changes in the camera,” Johnson told “State of the Union.” “And I have a very delicate balance here, a very delicate balance that we have reached for a long period of time. And it is better not to end up too much.”

The speaker emphasized the need to accelerate the approval of the bill and expressed the hope that the president could sign it for Independence Day.

“Why is it so important? Because we have to obtain relief to the American people, and that we also need, for political purposes, to show a lot of time, enough time for everyone to see that this package really is what we say. It will help the country, it will help the economy,” he said.

But Senator Johnson criticized the hurried process, saying: “You have to do the job, which takes time. That is part of the problem. The problem here is that we have hurried this process. We have not taken time. We have done the same ancient way, exempted to most programs.”

Another problem with the bill in the Senate is that it raises the debt roof, that some Republican senators said they wanted to deal separately instead of adding it to the package that reduces the expense and makes Trump’s tax cuts in 2017 permanent.

Republican senator Rand Paul told “Fox News Sunday” that he will not vote for the legislation unless the increase in the debt roof is eliminated because he said that “deficits would explode.”

He called the expenses of the bill “weak and anemic”.

“The problem is that mathematics does not join,” he said.

When asked about Paul’s criticism during an interview with “Face the Nation” of CBS, the speaker Johnson was asked if he believes that the legislation is an “economic commitment.”

“No, it’s not an economic commitment. It’s a great investment,” said Johnson. “What this bill is going to do is be a fuel for airplanes for the economy of the United States, to promote a process.

Johnson said criticism about the increase in debt are “dramatically exaggerated.”

“Those same groups can objectively see and recognize that this is the largest cut in spending in at least 30 years, and possibly of all time, we are reducing more than $ 1.5 billion in federal expenses while we review all the boxes and cause a pro-process economy,” he said.

And although the Congress Budget Office estimates that the bill would increase the deficit by $ 3.8 billion, said President Johnson because the CBO does not make a dynamic score, “they do not explain the growth that will be encouraged by all policies that are in this, this, this great legislation.”

In addition to extending Trump’s tax cuts in 2017, the bill increases spending for military and border security and makes some cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other assistance programs.

The preliminary analysis of the CBO of the bill, requested by the Democrats of the House of Representatives and completed before it was approved by the Chamber, estimated that the lower income Americans will see their resources will reduce their resources, while the highest winners of the country would see an increase.

The bill would implement new work requirements for Medicaid, aimed at adults and immigrants without disabilities, among other beneficiaries, and encourage states not to expand Medicaid. The CBO estimated that it would result in $ 698 billion less in federal subsidies due to changes in the Medicaid program.

The first estimates of CBO put the number of people who could lose coverage in more than 8 million, but that number continues to fluctuate and the CBO has not yet published its final score of the Bill of the Republican Party as it continues to be negotiated.

Johnson and Trump have argued that the bill does not cut Medicaid, but eliminates “waste, fraud and abuse.”

“We are not cutting Medicaid in this package,” said Johnson Jake Tapper of CNN. “There is a lot of wrong information about this, Jake. The number of affected Americans are those who are intertwined in our work to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse.”

“You are talking about 4.8 million capable body workers, young men, for example, who are in Medicaid and not working. They are choosing not to work when they can. That is called fraud. They are deceiving the system. When you highlight that type of abuse, you save the resources that people who deserve it and need it more.
