Congress approves broad conservative tax and spending package
The bill includes tips and overtime deductions for workers and up to 6000 for many older earners under 75000 a year. It would invest about 350 billion in national security and immigration enforcement while cutting 1.2 trillion from Medicaid and food stamps with work requirements and a rollback of green energy credits, estimated to raise deficits by 3.3 trillion over a decade and leave 11.8 million more without health coverage. Democrats labeled it trickle-down cruelty and criticized it as a tax favor to the rich funded on the working class, while Republicans defended the plan as necessary reform amid tense debate and party divisions.

Political costs of saying no
The sprawling package faced GOP resistance as Trump pressed for action and critics feared deep cuts. Johnson used White House aides to sway holdouts while conservatives demanded steeper reductions. Some lawmakers were told executive actions or district benefits could be offered. Tillis then announced he would not seek reelection.

Rollback of past presidential agendas in new bill
The proposal repudiates Obama era Medicaid expansion and Biden climate goals, risking lives by cutting Medicaid and food stamps for tens of millions. Republicans counter that tax breaks will not raise taxes and will boost the economy while trimming safety nets to core recipients. Tax Policy Center estimates show varying gains by income quintile next year.
