Republicans aren’t stopping: GOP to unleash another ‘big, beautiful bill’ with a new target
2 leader in the House of Representatives has confirmed plans for a fourth "big, beautiful bill" that would tackle government waste and abuse of federal dollars."If you're a single waitress, working three shifts at a diner, Democrats voted against you keeping your tip money … so that they can give that money to fraudsters in Minnesota who were sending it to terrorist organizations," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital, referring to Republicans' first sweeping party-line budget bill that President Donald Trump dubbed his "one big, beautiful bill.""It's insane, but that was really going on. So we're gonna move yet another reconciliation bill to focus on things like rooting out waste and fraud, to give that money back to taxpayers."TOP REPUBLICAN PUSHES FOR RECONCILIATION 3.0 TO ADDRESS AFFORDABILITYThe budget reconciliation process allows the party in power in Congress to pass sweeping fiscal policy legislation while completely sidelining the other side — in this case, Democrats.It does so by bypassing the Senate filibuster — which needs 60 votes to overcome — allowing the upper chamber to line up with the House's own simple majority threshold.But the measures in a reconciliation bill must adhere to a strict set of rules, such as not touching Social Security and only including policies that would affect the federal budget.GOP'S $95B DEFENSE PACKAGE SURVIVES CRITICAL HURDLE AMID FISCAL HAWK REVOLTCongressional Republicans have passed two reconciliation bills so far, one focused on Trump's tax priorities and another replenishing funds for the president's immigration crackdown.The GOP is working on a third that would add some $95 billion in federal spending over the next 10 years.
