The Senate made some modifications to it. They made it more conservative in some places and moderated it a little bit in others. But I\u2019ll tell you what, as the President said so well today, this is no longer just a House bill, it\u2019s not a Senate bill, it\u2019s the bill of the hardworking American people,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we are going to deliver it, as you said, Sean, by July 4th. It is so critically important. Remember, we got a clear mandate from the people in November to do this. President Trump ran on a clear set of priorities and promises, and we did as well. And this is the vehicle to deliver it. We\u2019re almost there at that finish line,\u201d Johnson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at the one-yard line in this game that\u2019s been played over a year, really. We worked on this for about 14 months to get us to this point. We\u2019re going to run it right up the middle and score for the American people. And I tell you what, everybody is going to benefit from this bill Sean. As you noted all those features, it\u2019s the most conservative piece of legislation we\u2019ve ever worked on. You need to mention at the same time that even though while we\u2019re having historic tax cuts, we also have historic savings. We\u2019re going to save $1.6 trillion for the American people,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201d We\u2019re going to cut down the size and scope of government, make it more efficient, make it work better for the people. They demand and deserve that, and the Republicans are delivering,\u201d Johnson declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cBut when you\u2019re talking about Medicaid, we need to make sure the program is sustained for the people it\u2019s intended for. That\u2019s, you know, the elderly, the disabled, young pregnant mothers, down on the luck, for example. So that\u2019s what we do by reinstituting work requirements. If you\u2019re a young able-bodied man, you should be helping to pull the wagon, not riding it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Speaker Johnson Discusses Final Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill on Hannity\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TCCzt807TH4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd so we have this very popular provision that says if you\u2019re going to receive Medicaid, you got to show that you\u2019re working or at least looking for a job or volunteering in your community for 20 hours a week. It should be much more, but that is a minimal requirement that will reduce a lot of the abuse of the program and shore it up for the people that need it the most. We\u2019re very proud of that. And by the way, the American people love it. It\u2019s a commonsense provision,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRemember the first two years of the Trump administration. After the first two years, we brought about the greatest economy in the history of the world, it wasn\u2019t even close, prior to COVID. Everybody was doing better. Literally every demographic in the country and every region of the country, because we had a combination of reduced taxes and reduced regulations. We\u2019re going to do that again, this time and with this bill on steroids. It really will be jet fuel to the economy and everyone will benefit,\u201d Johnson declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re estimating the average American will have an additional $10,000 take home pay because of this. You will have no taxes on your tips and on your overtime. Seniors will get a reduction in taxes, because of a credit they\u2019ll have, those on social security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnson concluded, \u201cThere\u2019s something in this bill, literally, as the President said today, for everyone. It is great policy and is going to help the economy, help the American people, and fulfill the promises of the America First agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson is lauding President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill\u201d as \u201cthe most conservative legislation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-trending"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=794"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":796,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794\/revisions\/796"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
