Description: President Trump’s big, beautiful tax cutting bill is entering the Senate, where representatives from the Republican and Democratic party would initially read and examine the bill before putting it up for discussion and subsequent voting. The controversial legislature is aimed at lowering the country’s national debt through drawing funds from crucial sectors and programs, such as Medicaid, and relocating them towards increasing the number of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency) agents and increasing the country’s spending on the military and oil exploration initiatives. The funding cuts were reportedly expected to reach $3.8 trillion and while some party – affiliated think tanks on both sides have insisted on massive national debt spikes over the next decade, the reportedly independent Congressional Budget Office organization estimated the national debt to climb towards $2.4 trillion. The Senate is expected to discuss the bill over the next 20 hours before putting it to vote and if passed, the bill would then be voted in the House of Representatives which passed it last month, during a preliminary hearing of the legislature.
Impact: The controversial bill expected to pass as legislature would mostly impact the already deteriorating American healthcare system and negatively influence forms of social care at an unprecedented level. The US, under Trump’s rule, has overturned every principle of democracy and is much alike a sophisticated authoritarian system where Senators get blackmailed for voting against a bill that’s been obviously vetted to have a negative impact on several sectors and millions of people. Trump’s immigration crackdowns have provoked a significant degree of civil upheaval with nationwide protests erupting in several cities, which later on lost the political traction to continue challenging the President’s rule and controversial and illegal methods of conducting policy. Considering the Republican Party’s outreach in the Senate and in the House of Representatives, despite gritty opposition from the Democrats, the bill would most probably be introduced as legislature, unless some late overtures cause other Republicans such as Rand Paul and Thom Tillis, to reconsider their decision and ban the bill wholesale.
