💨 Abstract

The House Republicans passed a major tax and spending bill under President Donald Trump's pressure, which significantly cuts Medicaid and food assistance for low-income Americans while benefiting the wealthy. The bill increases the national debt by $3.1 trillion over a decade. The legislation now moves to the Senate, where changes are expected. Democrats argue that the bill is cruel, while Republicans justify it as necessary for Trump's economic agenda. The Senate will evaluate public reaction and potential modifications before passing its own version.
