U.S. Senate Republicans have released a revised $4.2 trillion tax and spending bill, a move that comes as President Trump’s July 4 deadline for passage draws near. The 940-page draft, released late Friday night, marks a huge step in the Republican-controlled Senate’s push to overhaul the nation’s tax and spending policies before the Independence Day holiday.
What Are the Key Compromises in the Bill?
The newly revised bill reflects a series of major compromises aimed at reconciling different factions within the Republican Party. Among the most notable provisions is a temporary increase in the cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions. The bill proposes raising the current $10,000 limit to $40,000 for five years, a key demand from lawmakers in high-tax states.
