  • House Republicans are working overtime after a lengthy White House meeting to meet President Donald Trump's demand for a big budget package that includes some $3 trillion in tax breaks, massive program cuts and a possible extension of the nation's debt limit.

The article from MSN discusses the House GOP's efforts to advance former President Donald Trump's economic agenda through a comprehensive budget bill. This bill includes significant tax cuts, reductions in federal spending, and other policy promises aimed at fulfilling Trump's campaign pledges. Key elements include extending the 2017 tax cuts, which are set to expire, and proposing new tax benefits for individuals and businesses. Additionally, the bill seeks to cut funding for various federal programs, particularly those related to social services, environmental protection, and foreign aid, aligning with Trump's vision of reducing government size and influence. The GOP is pushing this legislation forward with urgency, aiming to pass it before the election to showcase their commitment to Trump's economic policies. However, the article notes that this rush could lead to internal party conflicts and potential resistance from Democrats, who argue that these cuts would disproportionately affect the middle and lower classes while benefiting the wealthy.
