World: "Great and beautiful" Trump project approved by the U.S. Senate
Last Tuesday, the United States Senate approved a controversial tax and spending cut package worth US$ 3.3 trillion, proposed by then-President Donald Trump. The vote was extremely tight, with 51 votes in favor and 50 against, reflecting the political polarization of the moment.
The project, considered by its supporters as a measure to stimulate economic growth, faced harsh criticism from opponents and experts. Many argue that the proposal primarily benefits the wealthy while penalizing the poor, in addition to contributing to the increase of the country's public deficit. Estimates indicate that over a decade, the package could raise the deficit by US$ 3.3 trillion.
The approval of the package was the result of intense mobilization by Republican leaders, who worked hard to convince undecided senators to vote in favor of the proposal, thus ensuring a political victory for Trump's administration.
