House Republicans have released a budget plan proposing up to $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, aiming to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion. This follows Senate Republicans, who are advancing a separate budget focused on $175 billion for border security and $150 billion for defense. Both chambers are navigating differing approaches while facing Democratic opposition over potential cuts to programs like Medicaid and rising national debt. House Speaker Mike Johnson anticipates an easy passage through committee, but intra-party tensions persist regarding the extent of tax cuts and spending reductions.
