Budget bill faces uphill battle in Senate
Share this @internewscast.com

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The U.S. Senate is now considering a significant bill that aims to introduce tax reductions whilst also suggesting substantial cuts to federal programs including Medicaid and food assistance.

After easily passing through the House, President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill Act” now faces stiff resistance in the Senate.

Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul says right now he’s a no on the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” because of its price tag.

“If I vote for the five trillion dollars debt, who’s left in Washington that cares about the debt?” asked Paul.

During a recent town hall, Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst encountered criticism for seeming to minimize worries that the proposed Medicaid reductions in the bill might result in fatalities.

“Well, we’re all going to die so for heaven’s sakes,” said Ernst.

On Saturday, Ernst attempted to mock the social media reaction.

“I mistakenly assumed that everyone present understood that, indeed, we will all eventually leave this world. I apologize. Additionally, I’m very thankful that I didn’t have to discuss the topic of the tooth fairy,” she stated.

Democrats, like Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, are hitting back.

“I think everybody in that audience knows that they’re going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90,” said Murphy.

Despite White House optimism, the bill faces GOP divisions and Senate rules that could strip key provisions.
