“We are entering the golden age of America,” said Donald Trump during a speech of about twenty minutes in the White House before signing his “great and beautiful law”, as he baptized, surrounded by Republican elected officials whose support was crucial for Tore the vote of the text in the congress.
He had pressure to achieve this before July 4, 249th anniversary of the independence of the United States vis-à-vis the British crown. The law was definitively voted on Thursday, just in time, a success that the 79 -year -old republican president described as “greater victory” since the start of his mandate on January 20.
Grip
He nevertheless eaten with a satisfaction manifesting his series of political success, in recent weeks, between the ceasefire between Iran and Israel after American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Agreement on NATO spending, and decision of the Supreme Court favorable to the executive in the face of the judiciary.
Two B-2, the type of plane that bombed the Iranian nuclear installations on June 22, and fighter planes flew over the White House for the occasion, while certain pilots who participated in the operation attended the ceremony, which was to end in the evening with fireworks.
The adoption of this law also confirms Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party and, for the time being, on American policy in general, despite doubts in his camp and the noisy opposition of his former ally, the Multimillionaire Elon Musk. After the Senate, which had approved it narrowly on Tuesday, the House of Representatives adopted this text definitively by 218 votes against 214, a very tight vote, preceded by multiple pressures and negotiations.
“Make this country better”
The sprawling budgetary law honors many of Donald Trump’s campaign promises: increased military spending, financing a massive migrant expulsion campaign and $ 4,500 billion (3575 billion francs) to extend the tax credits granted during its first mandate.
To compensate for the worsening of public debt, the new law will reduce the Federal Food Aid Program and impose important cups in the Medicaid, health insurance regime for modest income, the most important since its launch in the 1960s.
According to some estimates, up to 17 million people may lose their health insurance coverage and dozens of rural hospitals could close.
Opportunity for Democrats
“There are special funds to guarantee medical coverage in rural areas,” said the president’s main economic adviser on Fox News, Kevin Hassett, saying that budgetary law would combat “waste, fraud and abuse” within the Medicaid regime.
Democrats hope that the dissatisfaction caused by the benefits of the budgetary law will help them to conquer the majority in the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections in 2026. It will be for them to show that it is a huge redistribution of wealth of the poorest Americans to the richest.
