House Republicans are pushing to vote on their multi-trillion-dollar tax breaks package as soon as Wednesday, grinding out last-minute deal-making to shore up wavering GOP support and deliver on President Donald Trump's top legislative priority.
A fresh analysis from the Congressional Budget Office said the tax provisions would increase the federal deficit by USD 3.8 trillion over the decade, while the changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other services would tally USD 1 trillion in reduced spending.
But GOP leaders worked late into the night to convince sceptical Republicans who have problems on several fronts, including worries that it will pile onto the nation's USD 36 trillion debt.
