Washington — Senate Republicans adopted a budget resolution on Saturday after an all-night voting marathon, putting Congress one step closer to enacting President Trump's agenda. Senate Republicans unveiled a new 70-page budget blueprint Wednesday that lays out a path toward implementing Mr. Trump's border security, defense, energy and tax priorities. The resolution aims to make tax cuts that were enacted during Mr. Trump's first term permanent while also authorizing $1.
Main Idea: Senate Republicans approved a budget plan that moves President Donald Trump’s agenda forward and sets up the next step in Congress.
Key Points:
Making Trump tax cuts permanent and adding more tax cuts could widen the federal deficit, which may raise pressure on future taxes, spending cuts, or borrowing costs for households and workers.
The plan could give small businesses and many workers longer tax certainty and may support spending on border security, defense, and energy jobs.
