‘We Can’t Afford It’: Senate GOP Balks at House Megabill as Messy Fight Awaits

  • Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are discussing President Donald Trump's comprehensive 2025 proposal, which offers tax incentives, reduces government expenditures, and enhances security measures.
  • The bill is encountering resistance within the Republican Party due to conflicting views on implementing employment conditions for Medicaid and SNAP recipients, as well as demands for more substantial budget reductions.
  • The legislation mandates able-bodied adults without dependents work or volunteer 80 hours monthly, raises age caps from 54 to 64, and affects some parents with young children.
  • The Congressional Budget Office projects that 8.6 million people might lose health coverage and 3 million could lose SNAP assistance, while the proposed tax provisions are expected to increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade.
  • The bill's future remains uncertain as Republicans negotiate SNAP funding shifts, increased state costs, and aim for a vote by Memorial Day amid concerns over the upcoming budget and debt ceiling.
