The Republican-controlled House Rules Committee has advanced a massive tax and spending bill supported by President Donald Trump, setting it up for a full House vote. The bill aims to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts, introduce new tax breaks, end green-energy subsidies, and increase spending on the military and immigration enforcement. These changes would be funded by tightening eligibility for food and health programs for low-income Americans. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add $3.8 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. The bill faces opposition from some Republican hardliners who desire more spending cuts and strong condemnation from Democrats who argue it would harm vulnerable populations to benefit billionaires.
