Washington – The Balaying republican bill Because the interior agenda of President Donald Trump should add 2.4 billions of dollars to national debt over the next 10 years, according to a new estimate from the non -partisan congress budget office.
The figure is slightly higher than an earlier version of the invoice, which the CBO has planned to add 2.3 billions of dollars in new debt.
The Office Budget also estimated that the package would increase the number of people without health insurance by 10.9 million by 2034 due to discount reductions in Medicaid and the affordable care law.
The new long -awaited score in a series of Last minute revisions GOP leaders made the peak before the Chamber adopted the legislation last month. The changes include a higher and local fiscal deduction (salt) and a provision that triggers Medicaid’s work requirements earlier than initial legislation.
Overall, the CBO and the joint tax committee revealed that over a period of 10 years, the legislation would decrease revenues of 3.7 billions of dollars, while reducing net expenditure by $ 1.3 billion – for a total of 2.4 billions of dollars in new red ink.
The legislation is now in the hands of the Senate, where the main Republicans want to pass a revised version by July 4. It is not clear what changes they will bring or how these revisions would affect the deficit.
The score contradicts the claims of the leaders of the White House and the GOP that the bill will not worsen the national debt. They highlighted expenses while minimizing tax reductions and extensions that affect long -term budgetary prospects.
And this encourages the new criticism by the former billionaire councilor of Trump, Elon Musk, who Excoried the invoice Tuesday as a “disgusting abomination”, citing the increase in debt.
