“Long Overdue”: Republicans Senate RAM via Trump’s package with a reduction in foreign aid, NPR

But 9.4 billion dollars are not many when allocated nearly $ 7 trillion annual expenditures of the Federal Government.

And it’s not really a lot of money, considering that the US is to advance in a red one of $ 37 trillion.

What leads us to the Congress plan to cancel the costs. That is, the measure of Republicans and Trump administration cancel the costs of legislators already assigned in March. House and Senate are now rejecting money that legislators put out the door for the corporation Public broadcast and foreign aid programs according to USAID. The initial proposal reduced $ 9.4 billion. But this figure has decreased to $ 9 billion – after the Senate resumed money on “PEPFAR”, the program of President George W. Bush to fight AIDS around the world.

In other words, you may have left a couple of thousands of years from your apartment controlled by rent in New York. It is clear that it depends on what the nominee of the Democratic mayor Zorhan Mammani decides to do when he wins the election this fall.

Anyway, go back to Congress. Or “not release”.

In June 216-214 the house was adopted by the original version of the bill. Turn one voice over, and the bill would have failed into the tie 215-215. Then he went to the Senate. The Republicans had to summon Vice -President Vens to the Capitol hill to break up two procedural votes to send the bill to cancel the costs on the floor and actually launch a discussion. Republicans have an advantage 53-47 in the Senate. But former leader of the majority of Senate Mitch McConselle, R-ki, along with Sens Lisa Murkovsky, R-Alaska and Susan Collins, R-Maine, voted for Nay-by-taking 50-50 ties.

Fox says some Republicans of the Senate get tired of McConel, opposed by GOP – and President Trump – on various issues. This includes Nay votes to launch a discussion on the bill on the cancellation of the costs, as well as its voting against the confirmation of the Defense Minister Pete Hugset in January.

“He used to be a leader. He always told us that we needed to follow,” said one GOP senator who asked for anonymity. “Now he doesn’t vote, but wants? How time flies.”

Please note that McConsol headed the Senate -Republican Senate recently in early January.

But McConsell ultimately voted for the legislation when the Senate approved it 51-48 at 2:28 am on Thursday morning.

Murkovsky and Collins were the only noes. Vice-President Vnes were not needed due to the voting of McConsella and the absence of Senator Tina Smith, D-Min. She became ill and was admitted to George Washington’s hospital for exhaustion.

As for the senior senator from Alaska, one GOP senator described it as “fatigue of Murkovsky”.

“She always asks. She always wants more,” the Senate -Republican launched.

Murkovsky provided an agreement on rural hospitals in exchange for a vote for the great, beautiful bill earlier this month. However, Murkovsky did not provide more specific on the cuts of DOGE and did not help with rural and public radio stations in Alaska on the cost plan.

Senate discusses Trump’s bill at $ 9 million after dramatic voices late night

“My voice is governed by the imperative to come from the Alaskans. I have a vote that I can pay with the president’s support.” I disagree with the NPR for many years tilted more guerrillas. This can be solved. But you do not need to squeeze the whole corporation for public broadcasting. ”

In a statement by Collins exploded Trump administration To lack the specificity regarding the accuracy of the request for cancellation. Collins, headed by the Senate Assignment Committee, which deals with the federal lines of the wallet, also criticized the administration a few months ago for misfortune with the president’s budget.

“The resume package has a big problem – no one really knows what Reduced Program There are in it. This is not because we did not have time to review the bill, ”Collins said in a statement.

Collins was not the only republican senator who experienced as the administration presented a package of costs for Congress. Chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee Roger Wicker, R-MISS. But unlike Collins, Wicker supported the package.

“If we do it again, please give us specific information about where the cuts will come. Let’s not do it,” Waker said. “If you return to us again from the executive, give us certain amounts in specific programs that will shrink.”

The dog recommended cuts. In fact, most costs aimed at DOGE do not come into force if Congress is not valid. But even $ 9.4 billion was difficult to reduce.

“We need to be able to do it in a dream. But it looks like there is enough opposition,” said Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky.

Thus, for the voting of the court, the GoP executives saved $ 400 million for PEPFAR.

“There was a lot of interest among our members to do something in the release of PEPFAR,” said the majority of the Senate John Tun, Rs.d. “You are still talking about a $ 9 billion resume package – even with such a small modification.”

The goal is to silent public broadcasting causing some Republicans.

“Northern Dakota public radio – about 26% of their budget is federal funding. This is more conclusion than the need,” said Senator Kevin Kremer, rn.d.

But return to $ 9 billion. This is the share of one tenth of the whole federal financing. And Dodge recommended more than a trillion dollars.

“What does it say about the party when it can’t even adopt this bill, this analysis of money?” Your truly asked Senator John Kennedy, R-La.

“I think we will lose a lot of authority. And we must,” Kennedy replied.

But Need at home Sync with the Senate because it changed the bill to deprive the AIDS funding. The Conservatives at home were not satisfied that the Senate was drowning again – only two weeks after large repairs to the big, beautiful bill. But they accepted their destiny.

“Disappointing that we have $ 37. It was a stunted fruit for me,” said Eric Berlison, R-Mo. “After all, I will bring a base blow, right? It’s better than nothing.”

It is expected that the White House budget director Rus Wuts will send other queries for cancellation to Congress in the coming months. The goal is to focus on a deeper reduction of the cost recommended by DOGE.

But for future dressing bills it is not good if it’s a big battle to prune 9 trillion dollars.

What can you get for so much money? It is not much for Republicans.
