What's next for Trump's agenda after House GOP approves tax breaks and slashed spending in US budget

New Indian Express  

WASHINGTON: Now that House Republicans have passed an ambitious budget blueprint for US President Donald Trump's agenda, it's time for the hard work of turning ideas for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion of slashed spending into a bill that lawmakers warn could bring intense changes to Americans back home. Republicans are insisting the costs of the tax breaks be partly paid for by the steep reductions in federal government spending as a way to ensure the nation's $36 trillion debt load doesn't balloon to dangerous levels. Democrats put up stiff opposition against the House GOP plan—one lawmaker dashed from California after a week's stay in the hospital and another returned to Washington for the vote with her newborn son. Trump, during a freewheeling Cabinet meeting Wednesday at the White House, insisted he will not touch the nation's premier safety net programs—Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security—but seek ways to root out what Republicans call waste, fraud and abuse.
