President Donald Trump and spokesperson Mike Johnson hope for the minimum amendments in the Senate to a “major and beautiful bill” approved by the House of Representatives last week, but one of the Republican Senator said that there is sufficient resistance to stop the draft law unless there were major changes.
“The first goal of our budget settlement is to reduce the deficit. This is actually increasing,” said Senator Ron Johnson, R Rons.
Johnson said: “I think we have enough to stop this process until the president becomes serious about spending deficit reduction,” Johnson said.
Republicans use a bizarian tactic called reconciliation, which only requires a simple majority of scrolling, to obtain the package through both rooms and Trump office. However, any changes in the Senate will require the draft law to return to the House of Representatives, as it was approved by only one vote between a Republican conference divided last week.

The spokesman Johnson made tours of talk shows on Sunday this week to defend the draft law and encourage the Senate to pass it without many changes.
“I encourage them, as you know, to do their work, of course, as we all expect. But to make a few adjustments to this package, to remember that we must pass it again to ratify its changes at home,” Johnson told “the union’s condition.” “I have a very accurate balance here, and a very accurate balance we have reached over a long period of time. It is better not to interfere with it much.”
The spokesman stressed the need to accelerate the passage of the draft law and expressed his hope that the president will be able to sign it by the Independence Day.
“Why is this very important? Because we have to rest for the American people, and that we also need political purposes to show a lot of time, and time enough for everyone to see that this package is actually what we say. It will help the country, and it will help the economy.”
But Senator Johnson criticized the accelerating process, saying: “You have to do the work, which takes time. This is part of the problem. The problem here is that we rushed this process. We did not take time. We did the same old way, exempt most programs.”
Another issue with the draft law in the Senate is that it raises the roof of the debt, in which some members of the Republican Senate said they want to deal with it separately instead of adding it to the package that reduces spending and makes tax cuts for 2017 from Trump in 2017.

Republican Senator Rand Ball told “Fox News Sunday” that he would not vote in favor of legislation unless the debt ceiling increased was stripped because he “will explode the deficit.”
He described the spending of the draft law “WIMPY and Hanemi”.
“The problem is that mathematics does not add,” he said.
When asked about Paul’s criticism during an interview with “CBS”, the Council was asked Johnson if he believed the legislation was “an economic gambling.”
“No, it is not an economic gamble. It’s a great investment,” Johnson said. “What this bill will do is jet fuel for the American economy, and enhances a pro -growth economy. What do we mean? We lead to a reduction in taxes and lower regulations. We will increase and stimulate American manufacturing. The effect that will have more jobs and more jobs for the individual will be.
Johnson said the criticism of the height of debt was “greatly exaggerated.”
“These groups can see themselves objectively and acknowledge that this is the biggest spending reduction in at least 30 years, and it can be said that we are lowering more than $ 1.5 trillion of federal spending while checking all the boxes and achieving an economy in support of growth,” he said.
Although the Congress Budget Office estimates that the draft law will raise the deficit of $ 3.8 trillion, the Council Johnson said that the Central Bank of Oman does not achieve a dynamic registration, “they do not explain the growth that will be strengthened by all the policies in this, this, this great legislation.”
In addition to the expansion of Trump’s tax cuts for 2017, the draft law enhances the spending of military security and borders and makes some cuts in Medicaid, Snap programs and other assistance programs.
The initial analysis of the CBO program for the draft law, which Democrats in the House of Representatives requested and completed before its approval by the House of Representatives, estimated that the lowest income will see a decrease in their resources while the highest owners of the country will witness an increase.
The draft law will implement new work requirements for Medicaid-targeting adults and migrants who are capable of the body, among other beneficiaries-and motivating countries to not expand medical aid. CBO estimated that it would lead to less than $ 698 billion in federal subsidies due to changes in the Medicaid program.
The estimates of the Central Bank of Oman put early the number of people who could lose coverage by more than 8 million – but this number is still fluctuating and the Central Bank of Oman did not issue after its final degree from the Republican Party’s bill with continued negotiations.
Johnson and Trump stressed that the bill does not cut medical aid, but it comes out “waste, fraud and abuse.”
“We do not cut medical aid in this package,” Johnson Taber said by CNN. “There is a lot of wrong information about this, Jake.
“You are talking about 4.8 million physical workers who are able, young, for example, who are in the field of Medicaid and do not work. They choose not to work when they can. This is called fraud. They betray the system. When these types of violations are rooted, you save the resources they need desperate by people who deserve it and need to do so.
