Tap title to read story
President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill," passed by the House, faces Senate opposition. Senator Ron Johnson opposes it due to insufficient debt reduction, advocating for deeper spending cuts. Speaker Mike Johnson defends the bill, emphasizing its economic benefits and urging minimal Senate changes. Senator Rand Paul also objects, demanding the debt ceiling increase be removed. The bill, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts and boosting military spending, includes cuts to some social programs, despite claims of targeting fraud. The CBO estimates the bill will increase the deficit and reduce resources for low-income Americans.
