Schumer strips the name big and beautiful ticket from the Trump spending package

The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., forced a name change for the “big and beautiful bills” of President Donald Trump, a few moments before the legislative package adopted the Upper Congress Chamber.

While Senator Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., Prepareed the Senate, Schumer raised a point of order three to five on the first page of the legislative proposal which said: “The title short. This law can be cited as the` One Big Beau Bill Act ”.

Schumer argued that the title of the bill violated article 313 B1 of the Congressal Budget Act of 1974, or what is commonly called the “Byrd rule”.

Ricketts said the order point was supported, which means that the text would be struck by the bill.

“It is not at all a” big and beautiful project “. This is why I moved on the ground to strike the title. He is now called” the act “. This is what it is called.” This vote will haunt our republican colleagues for years to come. Due to this bill, tens of millions of people will lose health insurance. Millions of jobs will disappear. People will be sick and will die, children will be hungry and the debt will explode at the levels that we have never seen.

“This bill is so irremediable that a republican has literally chose to retire rather than voting yes and decimating his own state,” added Schumer, referring to Senator Thom Tills, RN.C.

When he was asked if he hoped to irritate Trump by changing the name of the bill, Schumer replied: “I did not even think of President Trump. I thought about the truth. It is not a beautiful bill. Whoever loses his health insurance does not think that it is beautiful. Any worker in the clean energy industry who loses his work does not think that it is beautiful. Any mother who cannot feed her child at $ 5 American people know the truth. “

The Senate narrowly adopted the expense package of 3.3 billions of Trump dollars by a vote of 51-50 Tuesday after a vote all night.

Vice-president JD Vance was the shooting vote. No Democrat in the Senate crossed the aisle to support the legislation. Tillis and the Republican Senators Rand Paul of Kentucky and Susan Collins of Maine opposed the Megabill.

The Democrats condemned the adoption of the bill, notably the colleague of Schumer, the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.Y. She did not confirm a primary race.

“JD Vance was the decisive vote to cut Medicaid across the country,” wrote the progressive member of “Squad” on X. “An absolute and total betrayal of workers’ families”.

Vance defended the bill as obtaining “massive tax reductions, in particular no tax on advice and overtime. And above all, a lot of money for border safety ”.

“It is a great victory for the American people,” wrote the vice-president.

He also approved an assessment of the long -standing operator of GOP Roger Stone.

“The Office Budget Projects of the Non -Sample Congress, the Reconciliation Bill of Trump, would add 3.3 billions of dollars to the national debt during the next decade by extending the tax reductions of the President whom he implemented for the first time in 2017. In fact, federal income implemented Trump tax reductions 2017 as they did after Reagan and Reag JFK implemented the Trump 2017 tax cuts, “said Stone.

“The deficit is caused by excess expenses to which the administration is addressed in a series of recurrence invoices. PS The CBO is still false.”

Despite the initial reserves, Senator Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voted in favor of legislation after the Republicans added specific provisions to Alaska to increase her favor.
