By the deadline of July 4 for the Senate to pass Donald Trump’s” Big, Beautiful Bill” ( BBB ), the legislation is advancing toward floor consideration. There are still about a few senators who are claiming they didn’t vote for the bill in its present form, despite the fact that the bill’s many contentious sections have been mostly resolved.

Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson is one of those legislators. When Johnson was asked if he would support the bill, he said it didn’t go far enough to reduce the federal deficit, which is expected to exceed$ 2.2 trillion annually over the next ten years.
He said,” We have a long way to go on this one.”
If you’ve followed the discussion, you’ll know the key factors. In the House version of the BBB, the state and local tax ( SALT) deduction is$ 40, 000 annually. Its unique benefit of$ 10, 000 was partially restored by the Senate. When the House and Senate convene in a conference after the Senate ( presumably ) passes the current bill, it is anticipated to rise.
The Senate’s costs contains the majority of the remaining 2017 taxes cuts, with a few important changes. The Senate reduces the Child Tax Credit from$ 2,500 to$ 2,200. The House variant has slightly different tax deductions for tips, interest on car loans, and overtime pay.
” Tips are deductible up to$ 25, 000 through 2028. Overtime pay is deductible up to$ 12, 500, or$ 25, 000 for joint filers, through 2028. The Hill reports that auto loan interest can be deducted up to$ 10,000 through 2028.
The 800-pound monkey is still being cut by Medicaid. The Senate more slashed the software, which was already contentious.

Essentially, the legislation would set service fees to 3.5 percent, down from the latest 6 percent, for the state that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Starting in 2027, the cap may gradually be reduced by 0.5 percent yearly.  ,
States do not be able to impose new taxes, but as was the case with the House-passed version, their rates may remain the same. The lower helmet may not apply to nursing houses or middle care services.  ,
Conservatives have long advocated for limiting company taxes, saying that they are playing games with the current system and increasing national Medicaid spending. The policies are intended to increase Medicaid investing so that states can get more federal funding.
Additionally, the Senate act reduces some of the already-unstated state-directed obligations to hospitals, which would have a significant impact on the hospital’s bottom line. In contrast, the House version only grandfathered existing provisions while limiting future payments.
The House eliminated the natural tax credits, which the Senate even altered. The Senate wants to gradually halt some natural funds, making it possible for some jobs to start this year to be qualified for the certificates.  ,

Some Republican leaders in the northeast want the House expenses to set SALT deductions at$ 40, 000 annually.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S. D. ) stated to reporters on Monday afternoon that the$ 10,000 deduction cap serves as a “marker” for discussions with House Republicans and that a middle-range number will be found that will satisfy both camps.
However, the Republicans in the House’s SALT Caucus insist that the final budget should be$ 40,000.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N. ). Y. A significant member of the group warned in a statement that a$ 40,000 deduction cap “is the deal and I will not accept a penny less” and warned in a statement on social media that the proposal was” DEAD ON ARRIVAL.”
The Senate costs is not, as you might expect, a done deal, by any means. Before the House passed its edition of the BBB, some people were saying the same thing. The revelation that they only have a chance at this will ensure passing, in my opinion, the one thing.  ,
Loss is certainly a possibility.
