As Congress reconvenes following its spring recess, lawmakers are poised to tackle significant fiscal policy changes. Central to the agenda is a proposed budget resolution that includes substantial tax cuts and spending reductions. The House has passed a framework allowing for $5.3 trillion in deficit-financed tax cuts, alongside proposed cuts to programs like Medicaid and green energy initiatives. However, internal divisions within the Republican Party, particularly concerning the extent of spending cuts, may complicate the path forward.
