Senate Republicans to significantly revise House budget proposal

Senate and House Republicans are struggling to agree on a major budget bill intended to support President Donald Trump's agenda. Reports say the Senate plans to make significant changes to the House version of the budget, complicating an already difficult situation. Senator Lindsey Graham, who leads the Senate Budget Committee, criticized the House's proposal as "woefully inadequate." He noted that House Republicans initially wanted to create a comprehensive bill but have not delivered. The House's budget includes cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs to help fund tax cuts and other measures. However, key elements of Trump's campaign promises, like removing taxes on tips and overtime pay, are not part of this proposal. Republicans in both chambers have been at odds over whether to combine their efforts into one bill or divide them into two. This disagreement comes as they also face challenges from Trump's tariffs, which are creating divisions within the party and harming the economy. Additionally, there is growing concern about the upcoming debt ceiling, which could lead the U.S. into a financial crisis if not addressed properly.
