“Hospital Republicans have made some limited progress in their budget blueprints to promote President Donald Trump’s agenda.” Punch Bowl News Report.
“But the GOP is still everywhere and it’s very difficult for the party to quickly combine budget plans.”
“After putting punts into the committee markup this week, House GOP leaders and other key members have been trying to reach a consensus on budget resolutions for several hours last night. Conservative hardliners and other budget Hawks has called for much deeper cuts than the $500 billion to $700 billion originally proposed by leadership.”
“A lot of ideas were discussed last night, including reducing tax cuts and making them more expensive. Republicans have considered making some of Trump’s tax cuts permanent. But they are considering cutting back in 2017 and other recent priorities for Trump’s new tax cuts to be shorter. Republicans say that some of the tax cuts will last for two or five years. We are debating it.”
