Senate Version Of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Sets Up Showdown With House Over Taxes, Medicaid And SALT
ZeroHedge, Jun 17, 2025 – Excerpts:
Senate Republicans on Monday unveiled the final and most contentious component of President Trump’s sweeping legislative package, the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The Finance Committee’s long-awaited text – covering tax policy, Medicaid, and energy provisions – sets the stage for difficult negotiations between the Senate and the narrowly Republican-controlled House.
The Senate proposal scales back or reconfigures several measures passed by the House last month, particularly around health care funding and green energy. It also reveals stark policy divides that could derail GOP unity in the upper chamber….
Collision Course Ahead – With the Senate bill now public, Republicans face an uphill climb in reconciling the two chambers’ positions. Deep ideological divisions remain on Medicaid reform, tax relief structure, and the scale of federal borrowing.
Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks as Republicans seek to deliver on Trump’s legislative priorities while avoiding a GOP family feud that could fracture the party ahead of November.

_______________________
Washington Republicans, holding a majority in both Houses of Congress, will be wrangling over a massive spending bill that will: 1) Do nothing to shrink the national debt and decelerate the growth in America’s massive federal budget deficits; 2) Do nothing constructive to help lift people up out of poverty and scale back America’s enormous entitlement spending obligations; 3) Do nothing to revitalize long-term economic growth and economic liberty; 4) Do nothing to eliminate vast tracts of Household Debt and restore financial health for millions of American families; 5) Do nothing to recapitalize Medicare, Medicaid, VA Health Care, TRICARE, and FEHB; 6) Do nothing to eliminate the strain on the Social Security Trust Fund.
They will get ‘tarred and feathered’ once again for ‘reducing government benefits for the poor’… and for ‘raising the debt ceiling’ and ‘running up annual budget deficits.’
Washington Republicans right now have a golden opportunity to begin winning over the hearts and minds of hundreds of millions of hard-working, tax-paying U.S. citizen voters by: 1) Generating $37.303 billion annual budget surpluses (2027-2031); 2) Lifting millions of people up out of poverty and restoring financial health for millions of middle-class American families; 3) Resolving the colossal $1.777 trillion student debt obligations owed by 42.7 million borrowers – without burdening other working Americans who paid their loans back, or did not ever incur student debt; 4) Recapitalizing the Medicare and Social Security Trust Funds; 5) Securing better reimbursement schedules for Medicare and Medicaid providers; 6) Strengthening and improving efficiency in VA Health Care, TRICARE, and FEHB; 7) Restoring economic liberty and a better future for all Americans.
It all starts here, with the most powerful economic acceleration plan in the world..
The Leviticus 25 Plan is a dynamic economic initiative providing direct liquidity benefits for American families, while at the same time scaling back the role of government in managing and controlling the affairs of citizens. It is a comprehensive plan with long-term economic and social benefits for citizens and government.
The inspiration for this plan is based upon Biblical principles set forth in the Book of Leviticus, principles tendering direct economic liberties to the people.
