IOWA SENATOR JONI ERNST SAYS THE SENATE WILL REVIEW THE SO-CALLED BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL THAT PASSED THE U.S. HOUSE LAST WEEK, INCORPORATING MANY OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MAJOR POLITICAL GOALS.
IT INCLUDES 140-BILLION DOLLARS FOR MASS DEPORTATIONS AND IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, ELIMINATING TAXES ON WORKERS’ TIPS AND OVERTIME, EXTENDING TRUMP’S 2017 TAX CUTS, AND INCREASING THE DEBT CEILING BY FOUR-TRILLION DOLLARS.
ERNST SAYS SENATORS ARE AWARE OF MOST OF THE BILL’S CONTENTS, BUT SHE BELIEVES THEY CAN IMPROVE ON IT.
