Trump said during his visit to the Capitol there wouldn't be any cuts. And the measure is focused on cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. But the Congressional Budget Office found that at least 8.6 million people could lose health care coverage due to these changes. And CBO analysis that came out late last night found out that the poorest, the bottom 10 percent of Americans...

would see their household resources drop due to the policy and tax changes in this package, while the top 10% would get a bump in income. And we should also note that the bill makes cuts to food assistance programs, and that could impact millions of children who rely on that program for school lunches. So if this bill gets through the House, what are the prospects in the Senate?

How do you manage it? Well, he and Senate Majority Leader John Thune met separately with a group of about 20 conservatives who were adamant that the budget package had to include a minimum amount of spending cuts. They're talking $1.5 trillion. There's a range in this resolution, but these hardliners weren't convinced the Senate would actually meet the higher number, and now they say they are.

But most importantly, this budget extends the president's tax cuts. Those are going to expire at the end of 2025. That extension of those tax breaks is going to cost around $5.5 trillion over 10 years. Republicans are also planning to use this budget package to avoid a default on the nation's debt. They're going to raise the debt ceiling by about $5 trillion.

Democrats have been blasting this package. They're saying it's going to add trillions to the deficit.
