Washington – the United States of Republicans issued their budget resolution on Wednesday, determining the vision of raising the debt limit and developing reconciliation package, which is significantly different from the fact that the Republicans of the Senate published last week.
House budget resolution He proposes Congress the sentence of one invoice, which would expand tax reductions in 2017, transferred during the first term of Donald Trump and will boost the spending on security and defense of borders, while paying for billions compared to the deficit with the cuts of other government programs.
The budget resolution of the Chamber, which the Committee will mark on Thursday, will also boost the debt limit by $ 4 trillion. The United States has accumulated a debt of $ 36.22 trillion for decades.
Marshal Mike Johnson, r-la. he wrote in a post on social media There are still many steps for GOP legislators to pass before they can send a Trump of the bill.
“Because almost every chamber of the Republican directly got involved in this prudent trial, this resolution reflects our joint commitment to adopting the full program of the president – not only its parts,” said Johnson.
“In the coming weeks there will be ongoing debates and discussions, and we focus on working on the trial to ensure our promises made to the American people,” added Johnson. “There is still a lot to do, but we start on the right path.”
Democrats predict a significant part of these cuts Medicaidwhich is the national health care and long -term health care program for 80 million low -income people, conducted in cooperation with the States.
The democratic assistant of the leader Joe Neguse from Colorado said during a press conference the Budgetary Resolution GOP and the outline of the reconciliation package were “medium -class betrayal”, which “limited Medicaid, ended it and ultimately we know, and ultimately reward billionaires and corporations. “
“We know that this ripping plan they implement in the budget committee will increase costs and will not reduce costs,” said Neguse. “You don’t reduce the costs when looking at Medicaid.”
The Senate is moving forward
Republicans of the Senate (*4*)They met on Wednesday with their own budget resolutionwhich would transfer the basic goals of politics through two separate bills.
The first would cover $ 175 billion for border security, $ 150 billion for defense and about $ 20 billion for losing a coastal loss. All this will be paid by limiting the financing of other government programs.
Congress would have to adopt a second budget resolution as part of the Senate plan to extend the GOP tax law in 2017.
Chairman of the Budget Committee of the Senate Lindsey Graham, Rs.c., said during markers that he believes that Congress must move quickly to approve expenses for the security of defense and borders before he returns to negotiating a tax project.
Graham also said that, according to his proposal to reconciliation, work on “comprehensive immigration reform” would wait until later.
“I am going to cooperate with my democratic colleagues to fix the damaged immigration system, but this is only the case after regaining control over the border and the deportation of people who should never have been here to start,” said Graham.
How it works
Both congress chambers must vote for the approval of the same budget resolution with identical agreement instructions before they can unlock a trial that allows them to transfer the law by the Senate without obtaining at least 60 votes to exceed the legislative filibuster.
Republicans in the Chamber and Senate are currently on different paths, but ultimately they will have to agree one or two reconciliation bills. Their other options include negotiating a contract with democrats or repealing many promises of their campaigns.
The budget resolution at home would cause reconciliation instructions for several committees, which would then be designed to develop part of the package before March 27.
Ways home committee and resources, chaired by Missouri Rep. Jason Smith would be able to boost the deficit to $ 4.5 trillion in the account, which extended the elements in the Act on tax reductions in 2017, which expired at the end of this year.
The Armed Services Committee, headed by Alabama representative Mike Rogers, developed an account spent about $ 100 billion for various defense programs.
The Internal Security Committee can spend up to $ 90 billion on various border safety programs. Representative of Tennessee Mark E. Green will develop this account as the president of the panel.
The judicial committee, run by the representative of Ohio Jim Jordan, would be able to write an invoice to spend up to $ 110 billion.
Cutting areas include agriculture
Agricultural Committee, chaired by Pennsylvania Rep. Glenn Thompson would write an account cutting at least $ 230 billion from various programs in his jurisdiction.
Education and Working Committee, headed by Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg would have to reduce at least $ 330 billion from departments and programs within its scope.
The Energy and Trade Committee, run by the representative of Kentucky Brett Guthrie, would have to find at least $ 880 billion cost savings to aid republicans pay for other parts of the account.
A member of the Energy and Trade Committee Frank Pallone Jr., Democrat from New Jersey, wrote in a statement that the final law on reconciliation of the panel will probably affect Medicaid, calling it “soulless and cruel proposition.”
“The consequences of this budget will be devastating. One in three Americans relied on Medicaid because of their health insurance, and this republican budget will look for this care, “Pallone wrote. “Millions of Americans will lose protection, hospitals will be forced to close, and social health centers will be forced to dismiss doctors and nurses.”
Financial Services Committee, chairman Arkansas Rep. J. French Hill is accused of finding at least $ 1 billion savings to compensate for the costs of border security, defense and tax regulations.
The Natural Resources Committee, headed by the representative of Arkansas Bruce Westerman, would have to find at least $ 1 billion savings.
The Government Supervision and Reformation Committee, run by the representative of Kentucky James Comer, would have to reduce at least $ 50 billion.
The Transport and Infrastructure Committee, led by a representative of Missouri Sam Graves, is designed to reduce at least $ 10 billion.
