Washington (AP) – Mike Johnson room president found itself in a familiar jam on Tuesday: conservative republican sealed block the action President Donald Trump “Big” invoices tax lounges and expense discounts, refusing to accept A budgetary framework of the Senate GOP Approved during the weekend because it does not cut enough.
Asset The republicans of the house summoned of the caucus of conservative freedom at the White House Regarding what was described as a controversial meeting of noon. Despite Trump’s push, some of the Republicans told the president that they could not support the Senate package without commitment to higher cuts.
“I am tired of false mathematics in the marsh,” said representative Chip Roy, R-Texas, a leader of the Caucus Freedom, before going to the White House.
After meeting Trump, Roy was one of those who are not a husband. “I’m still a no.”
The confrontation between the Chamber and the Senate on what Trump calls his “big and beautiful bill” consists the limits of the long GOP campaign to reduce federal spending, in particular at a time of economic disorders. Trump’s trade wars, mass layoffs Thousands of federal workers and the Trump government efficiency department, Trump’s advisor, the government’s efficiency, the government, all upset the debate.
With the financial markets that run on Trump’s prices and The economy fogged While the concerns of a recession of recession, the Republican insisted that there is no time to waste. Johnson withdraws all the stops as he launches for votes to push the process before the legislators left the city on Thursday for a two -week spring recreation.
“We have to do it,” said Johnson earlier during the day.
The Republicans, in control of the White House and Congress, try to build muscle the bill on the domestic policy of Trump 4.5 billions of dollars in tax reductions Approved during his first mandate, do not express at the end of the year. But the Republicans of the Chamber require up to 2 billions of dollars of budget cuts during the decade, to help compensate for the costs of tax reductions, while the Republicans of the Senate, who stayed late to adopt Their package Early Saturday morning, hesitate to go so far.
Faced with a unified opposition to the Democrat package, who consider the GOP package as a tax gift to the rich paid by Medicaid reductionsFood coupons and other vital government services, Republicans find it difficult to resolve their differences and develop a final product.
The Democrat Manager of the Hakeem Jeffries Chamber in a letter to Johnson challenged him for an individual debate on their budgetary differences.
“Mano a mano,” published Jeffries on social networks. “The American people deserves to know the truth.”
The tumult launched the week’s calendar in uncertainty with a planned Wednesday vote which potentially pushed Thursday, or even later.
Trump insisted that he had a “very good” meeting with Johnson and the Conservatives and said that he also wanted large cuts.
“I told them that I am for major expense discounts!” We are going to make discounts, hopefully, more than 1 dollars billion, who will all go to “the only, big and beautiful bill”, published Trump on social networks. “But we have to have the invoice approved now.”
But Trump’s requests did not make many conservatives of the room were not in progress.
“The rest of America must make mathematics and balance their budget. I think we have to make mathematics here in Washington DC, “said representative Scott Perry, R-P-Pa., Who attended the White House meeting. “You don’t need a calculation wiz to know that it does not add up.”
Legislators have said that several dozen Republicans are holding their support.
Representative Eric Burlison, R-MO., Said that the Senate cuts are “anemic”.
“I couldn’t sleep at night if I was part of the exacerbation of the federal deficit,” said Burlison. “Although there can be there who have an appetite for some of the expenses, it is clear that not everyone does.”
While the Republican senators have agreed to consider up to 2 billions of dollars in cuts, their counterparts in the chamber are deeply skeptical, if not suspicious, that the GOP of the Senate will perform anywhere near this level of reduction. The Senate bill establishes a much lower floor, only $ 4 billion in cuts, although the leaders of the Senate GOP insist that this number will increase.
Representative Ralph Norman, RS.C., said that he did not think that the Senate had the political will to establish larger cuts and is not convinced that the GOP senators will reach anywhere near the level the Chamber has established.
“The reliability of the Senate is suspect,” said Norman. “It’s like facilitating your house $ 100,000, and I come back with $ 1,000. How do you ponch this gulf? “
In fact, the GOP of the Senate reported the difficult road to come for the stiff discounts of the chamber spending during their long night session.
Several Republicans, including senator Susan Collins of Maine and Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, voted with the Democrats in favor of the amendments to preserve the Medicaid des Cup health care program. None of the modifications has been accepted, but that which specifically targeted the $ 800 billion in the Chamber’s framework won the GOP support.
Johnson is far from the count of the voices he needs to pass the package with his thin majority.
During a morning meeting of the House Republicans, a certain number of legislators spoke – some saying that they should simply accept the resolution of the Senate for the moment and continue to work on the details of the final package. Others refused to go ahead without ensuring that senators were committed to the same level of reduction.
