💨 Abstract

Republican lawmakers are in heated negotiations over President Trump's proposed $4.5 trillion tax breaks and $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, set to be finalized by Memorial Day. Key points of contention include proposed cuts to Medicaid, concerns over eliminating green energy tax breaks, and debates over the SALT deduction. Centrist Republicans are resisting steep cuts to Medicaid, arguing it would harm their constituents, while Democrats accuse the GOP of prioritizing tax breaks for the wealthy over essential programs.
