GOP Senators Seeking Big Changes to House Budget Bill

Major changes are needed to the House-passed budget resolution, including language to make President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent, according to Senate Republicans.

“It’s complicated. It’s hard. Nothing about this is going to be easy,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., commented, reports The Hill on Thursday. “There are some things that we need to work with the House package to expand upon.”

House Republicans, with a push from Trump, passed its budget blueprint Tuesday. The budget is seen toward delivering what the president calls his “big, beautiful bill” that will allow $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and $2 trillion in cuts to spending.
