House Republicans are close to completing what should be called the Make America Affordable Again Act.
As I wrote last week, the legislation will bring tax cuts, spending reforms, substantial deregulation – and set the stage for the Trump Boom of 2026.
President Donald J. Trump’s consistent call for early passage of “one big, beautiful bill” has made a serious impact. It has motivated a wide range of people to work incredibly hard.
In an astonishing marathon of meetings, the various House committees reported out the components of the Republican budget bill. The full House still has time to work through minor improvements and finishing touches – and pass the bill before Speaker Mike Johnson’s deadline.
Majority Leader John Thune will then have to quickly motivate the 53 Senate Republicans to shape a complicated version of the House bill. Clearly, senators will have improvements of their own – as the Founding Fathers intended. However, the Senate must move quickly so the conference between the two versions can be finished in time for President Trump to sign the Make America Affordable Again Act by Independence Day.
This quick timeline is essential. Americans have been through enough hardship. They deserve to have a growing economy, more good paying jobs, booming production, and lower prices – as soon as possible.
