Big Beautiful Bill for Donald Trump is a disgusting abomination, according to Elon Musk. And these days he is going through a key legislative moment for his future. The US president wants the Senate to approve before July 4, US National Festival, and the pressure on senators is being very large to satisfy the president’s wishes.
In this context, the richest man in the world and until he does not make Trump closest to Trump’s closest to Trump’s macro economic and fiscal law, which triggers the deficit and debt because it increases the expenses – defense and fight against migration – and reduces income – for mass tax sales.
“It is obvious, with the crazy expense of this bill, which increases the debt roof in the record of five billion dollars, which we live in a uniparty country: the Gordo pig party !!” Musk tweeted: “It’s time to create a new political party that really worries about people.” And he has concluded, attacking the Republican Neoliberal Bank that is supporting Trump’s law: “What can Freedom Caucus call themselves if they vote in favor of a draft slavery law by debt with the greatest increase in the ceiling of the debt of history?”
The Senate keeps the project alive
After an intense weekend in the Senate, the future of the law is still uncertain. At the moment, the vote has postponed until Monday. Republican leaders rush to meet the term of July 4 set by Trump to approve the package, but they barely got enough support to overcome a procedural obstacle on Saturday night: a handful of Republicans rebelled, and Trump’s telephone calls were necessary and the presence of vice president JD Vance with his vote to keep the bill alive.
Republican senator Thom Tillis, from North Carolina, announced on Sunday that he would not appear to re -election after Trump harassed him for saying that he could not vote in favor of the bill for the strong cuts to Medicaid.
11.8 million will lose medical insurance
A new analysis of the Congress Budget Office, of a non -partisan nature, revealed that 11.8 million Americans would remain without insurance in 2034 if the bill became law.
He also noted that the package would increase the deficit by almost 3.3 billion dollars in the next decade.
However, other Republicans of the Senate, together with the conservatives of the House of Representatives, are pressing so that more drastic cuts are applied, especially in health, which has earned them a touch by Trump: “Do not go crazy,” the president published on social networks published: “Remember that you still have to be re -elected.”
In total, the Senate bill includes about 4 billion dollars in tax cuts, in the line of what was approved by Trump in 2017, while adding new cuts with which he campaigned, such as the tax exemption of tips.
The Senate package would reduce billions in fiscal credits for green energy that, according to the Democrats, will end investments in wind and solar energy throughout the country, and would impose cuts worth 1.2 billion dollars, mainly in Medicaid and food coupons, by imposing labor requirements and make the eligibility requirements more strict to inscribe, explains Associated Press.
In addition, the bill would provide an injection of 350 billion dollars for border and national security, including deportations, part of which would be paid with new rates charged to immigrants.
If the Senate approves the bill, it would have to return to the House of Representatives with the modifications. The president of the Chamber, Mike Johnson, has asked legislators to be available to return to Washington this week.
Democrats, as a minority party in Congress, are using tools to delay and extend the process. Thus, they forced to read the full text, 940 pages, which meant about 16 hours. In addition, the senators gave each other in the debate, while the Republicans remained largely to the margin.
Republicans are using their majority to pass over the Democratic opposition, despite having suffered a series of political and normative setbacks. Republicans who resist remain reluctant to give their votes and leaders almost have no room for maneuver, given the narrow majority: basically, three votes can be allowed against.
Trump, which has sometimes given maneuver margin, has maintained the pressure with this law. He threatened to campaign against Tillis, who was worried that the cuts to Medicaid would leave many people without medical attention in their state, and Trump again harass him on Sunday morning: “He has harmed the great town of North Carolina”:
After that, on Sunday, Tillis issued a statement in which he announced that he would not appear at re -election in 2026.
