Senate Makes Major New Move

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a major move that aligns with President Donald Trump’s America First economic vision, Senate Republicans have unveiled a powerful new tax reform plan aimed at making Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent, slashing wasteful government spending, and rolling back Biden-era green energy handouts.

🔹 A Return to Pro-Growth, Pro-America Tax Policy

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) introduced the new legislative text Monday, calling it the centerpiece of President Trump’s renewed tax agenda. The bill would lock in permanent corporate tax cuts, providing long-term certainty for job creators and retirees who depend on a stable economy.

At the same time, the bill includes common-sense tax relief for everyday Americans — including a provision to make tipped income tax-free for service workers. This reflects Trump’s populist vision of putting American workers first.

✅ KEYWORD FOCUS: Trump tax cuts, permanent corporate tax reduction, tax relief for seniors, conservative tax plan

🔹 Cutting Waste and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility

The Senate plan takes direct aim at out-of-control government spending, especially in the Medicaid system. It would:

• Cut hundreds of billions in federal Medicaid spending
• Strengthen work requirements for Medicaid recipients
• Prevent states from exploiting provider taxes to inflate federal funding

According to two senior GOP aides, the Senate version goes further than the House’s draft in closing costly loopholes and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

⚠️ KEYWORD FOCUS: Medicaid spending cuts, federal deficit, conservative healthcare reform, Trump economic policy

🔹 Moderate Republicans Voice Concerns

While many conservatives applaud the deep spending cuts, some Republican senators — including Susan Collins (R-ME), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) — have raised concerns about how the changes could affect their constituents.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the House-passed version would cut $863 billion from Medicaid and CHIP over the next ten years and could lead to 10.9 million more uninsured Americans — numbers that reinforce the urgency of reform for fiscal conservatives.

🔹 Targeting the National Debt: Senate vs. House

Many Republican leaders, including Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC), argue the legislation must go even further to reduce the federal deficit — especially with the national debt topping $34 trillion.

The House bill proposes $1.6 trillion in cuts but would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit, according to the CBO. The Senate version seeks to go further in spending reductions while keeping pro-growth tax provisions intact.

🔹 SALT Deduction Showdown: Red vs. Blue State Republicans

The Senate bill also preserves the $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, directly challenging a House deal that raised the limit to $40,000 for households earning under $500,000.

Members of the House SALT Caucus, including Reps. Young Kim (R-CA) and Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), urged the Senate to honor the agreement to deliver tax relief to constituents in high-tax states. But Senate conservatives are holding firm, warning against reversing Trump’s successful SALT cap.

For conservative Americans age 50 and older, this tax package represents a serious return to fiscal sanity, economic patriotism, and real tax relief. President Trump’s leadership is once again front and center as the GOP fights to:

• Protect your retirement by cutting government waste
• Defend your hard-earned dollars with fairer tax laws
• Eliminate green subsidies that drive up energy costs
• Rein in Medicaid fraud and abuse
• Push back against liberal tax giveaways
