Republican parliamentarians came out on Thursday (6) from a five-hour meeting with the country’s president, Donald Trump, without an agreement on how to extend the office cuts that the agent defends, although important congressmen have said they are close to come to a common denominator.
Republicans, who have small majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate, have been trying to agree on a plan on how to cover the cost of tax cuts for weeks. According to independent analysts, they can add another $ 4 trillion in the next decade to the current public deficit of $ 36 trillion.
“We are very grateful to the president for striving and do what he does best, put a firm hand on the wheel and put everyone to work,” said the president of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.
On Thursday, while the meeting was still underway, White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump had established her tax priorities, which included extending 2017 cuts, eliminating tips, social security benefits and payment of overtime, in addition to adjusting federal deduction to state and local taxes, eliminating tax exemptions for billionaires from sports teams, reducing taxes on products made in the United States.
