House Republicans Explore $5.7 Trillion Budget Cuts

News summary

House Republicans, led by Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington, are exploring over $5 trillion in federal budget cuts to finance priorities like tax cuts and border security under President-elect Donald Trump. This ambitious proposal includes slashing funds from Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and clean energy subsidies, potentially impacting millions of low-income Americans and the green energy sector. The proposed cuts have sparked significant opposition, with some GOP members concerned about losing critical subsidies in their districts. The document, intended as a 'menu' of potential cuts rather than a concrete plan, also suggests Medicaid work requirements, which have previously resulted in coverage loss in states like Arkansas. Critics argue these cuts would primarily harm working families while benefiting the wealthy. Despite these plans, narrow margins in Congress and internal GOP disagreements may hinder the full implementation of these cuts.
