House Republicans Pass Budget Resolution with Tax Cuts and Spending Reductions
House Republicans have passed a budget resolution that includes significant tax cuts and spending reductions, marking a key step in advancing President Trump’s domestic agenda. The framework, approved by a narrow margin of 217 to 215, outlines a sweeping multitrillion-dollar plan addressing defense, energy, immigration, and tax policy. Notably, the budget includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, with provisions to renew the 2017 Trump tax cuts and proposals to eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security.
The resolution also mandates $2 trillion in spending cuts, though the specifics of these reductions will be determined by individual House committees. This has raised concerns among moderate Republicans about potential cuts to social safety net programs like Medicaid. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the importance of the budget as a foundational step in delivering the “America First” agenda, despite the challenges ahead.
The next steps involve crafting detailed legislation and addressing a looming government funding deadline by March 14. The process is expected to be contentious, with Democrats opposing the proposed cuts and some Republicans expressing reservations about the fiscal impact. The budget’s passage sets the stage for further negotiations and potential clashes over spending priorities.
