GOP to push for ANOTHER Big Beautiful Bill

[Melensdad]

Looks like we might get some actual budget cuts?

Maybe some other promised reforms?

Possibly shaving back some departments by statute too?
Many popular items were taken out of the BBB by the Senate Parliamentarian because they didn't follow the "Byrd" rule for reconciliation.

Two articles on the topic, there is some hope???

Fresh from passage of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo wants to pursue another party-line megabill and is tentatively eyeing fall for the next bite at the apple.​

​

“I’ve always been in favor of a three-bill strategy and there’s a ton of things that we need to do,” Crapo said in a brief interview Tuesday evening.​

House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington says Republicans shouldn’t give up on advancing certain priorities that were cut out of their “big, beautiful bill” for not complying with Senate rules, telling reporters Tuesday that lawmakers will try again in follow-up budget reconciliation packages.​

​

“There may be a longer list of things that were kicked out by the Senate parliamentarian as non-compliant with the Byrd rule — I think we should make another run at that and look for ways to structure the provisions so that it’s more fundamentally budgetary in impact and policy,” the Texas Republican said during the press call Tuesday afternoon. “I suspect that’s why they were kicked out.”​

Now that the BBB has passed, giving Trump and the GOP a big win, coupled with the real world benefits that will become more manifest moving forward, there is considerable momentum for even more conservative reforms. And this is why I was advocating for it to pass. It is a stepping stone. We are making progress in the Right direction.

I certainly hope so.

Maybe they can get 10 trillion more to spend, while we hold the bag of broken promises and the debt.
