House GOP Budget Advances with Trump Tax Cuts

The House Budget Committee has advanced a budget plan endorsing President Donald Trump's priorities, including $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling, despite $2 trillion in proposed spending cuts over the next decade. The resolution, which passed along party lines, aligns with Trump's agenda to extend his 2017 tax cuts, bolster border security, and reduce federal spending, though it diverges from the Senate's 'two-track' budget proposal. The plan mandates significant reductions in spending on social services and Medicaid, while increasing allocations for defense and border security. Committee Chair Jodey Arrington emphasized the blueprint as a strategy to streamline federal operations and enhance efficiency, reflecting the broader GOP objective of minimizing government size. Meanwhile, House Oversight Committee leaders are introducing legislation to fast-track Trump's government reorganization plans, aiming to modernize and improve efficiency without increasing federal workforce size.
