House Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to bring President Donald Trump’s “a big bill” to the vote on Wednesday afternoon or evening.
If he succeeds, and “OBBB” passes and is heading to the president’s desk, then this column is replaced by events – a large event with the passage of OBBB means getting rid of the U.S. economy.
But if four or more Republicans waved the caucus, opened the president and his party, and blocked a huge breakthrough in the defense of the economy, borders, energy sectors, and especially the state, and voted “no”, then broke the glass and pulled the leverage.

OBBB is not a bill that can survive the meeting, nor is it a second campaign in a legislative course. Too many narrow chokes are navigated to reach this decision point. Carefully, this delicate balance and high compromise constitutes the “conference committee” in fact to provide the Republican Party with unique opportunities to fulfill the Party and President Trump’s campaign in the 2024 campaign.
It’s not the perfect bill in my eyes, nor the eyes of any other observer and most members of Congress. But this is a very good bill, and good good is not necessarily the perfect enemy.
OBBBB’s most voice critic is the self-proclaimed “Deficit Eagle” (plus the weird Bauer Congressman Massie of Kentucky who believes his job will be interviewed on TV.)
Without restarting it is impossible to reduce more from the impact of the bill on the deficit, and “starting again” means failure to deliver.
Similarly, the edges of the Republican majority in the House and Senate are too narrow to expect different results. Shooting down “OBBB” now means shooting it down. Members who voted No will be responsible for the largest tax hikes in history, as well as the continued decline in U.S. military preparedness and underfunded Border Patrols and unfinished walls.
Republicans’ votes “not” may come from “safe areas,” but it’s clear that Republicans’ written and President Trump will specifically recruit and fund key challengers for them, and if those fail, voters are encouraged to send honest obstructionists and leftists to the House rather than the homeland.
But the president and spokesperson can hold one thing for House members who want more spending cuts: the opportunity to write and manage the second settlement bill.
Earlier this year, there were two settlement bills voices that were the first settlement bill to lay up on borders and defense spending, followed by the second settlement bill, and the second one involved a difficult spending involving waste, fraud and abuse of these plans, tax cuts and due reforms.
President Trump (who was a trader) has pushed the “OBBB” in theory (so proved so appropriately) that the Republicans would not risk the tax hikes planned to arrive on January 1, 2026 unless the “OBBB” stops first. Trump is betting momentum and so far he has won the bet.
There are some “real believers” in the house who want deeper spending cuts. If they blow up OBBB this week, they would say they are counting on houses and Senate Republicans to reassemble debris, but cut more. Of course, that won’t happen. This is not even the Haishi Rage Building. This is anti-reality. That won’t happen. See Senate vote: 50-50. All the weight the bill can bear is in it. Through it or welcome the massive tax rate hike in 2026!
The existing spending cuts in the bill endanger the Senate’s passage. The slices are deeper and the transaction is dead. The dead in the house might want to believe something else could happen, but the bottom line is killing “obbb”, which now means killing it forever. Republicans who voted against “OBBB” voted to collapse the economy between November 2026 and therefore were irresponsible for the Democratic majority in the House and all fiscal revenues of telegraph to the market. It will be the blood on the market, and it is for granted.
The “no” vote for Speaker Jeffries is a “yes” vote, and the massive spending hiking, his arrival will be closely related to the huge tax hike.
The Deficit Hawks objected to them getting more promises, and they might be. But every senator votes, too, and has reached Senate interest in cutting collective deficits. This is the best you can do in this round of reconciliation.
The holdings that the president and spokesperson can provide are the second round of control of the second round of settlement, which Congress has the right to occupy.
Chip Roy, Andy Harris and Ralph Norman will be responsible for the drafting of the bill and the management of the management. There is no guarantee of passing – what must be convinced is the moderates in the House Republican Party, but the president and speaker can provide strong support for the work. The deficit eagle may propose the smallest thread in the eyes that can be passed through many needles: the actual right to reform.
If some members who wish to go bankrupt in Social Security, or have Medicare and interest payments to swallow up the entire discretionary expenditure budget, they will be indifferent to rights reform. But responsible members of both sides of Congress must realize that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell announced Tuesday that “debt levels are sustainable, but the path is not.”
“We need to solve this problem sooner or later,” Powell continued. “Better than later.”
“Soorer” now could mean now that if the Fiscal Eagles are allowed to create a rights reform bill for the second settlement bill, the bill uses Arsenal’s biggest weapon to resist the time of the country’s debt. With a well-crafted bill they can even pull it off.
Recalling the “BRAC” committee? Since 1988, Congress has given a very sensitive task on five different occasions, an independent commission that designates U.S. military devices for shutdown, which held a hearing and developed a basic list of to shut down. Every place
Members of Congress know their cattle may be pierced, but they also know the size and size of the country’s military devices that need to be pruned. So Congress formed and authorized Brax, and Brak did their job. Congress was eventually introduced to the list, and by design, Congress could only vote “yes” or “no” on the entire list. By forcing all Congress to deal with all closures, sharing the pain, the BRACS advice is always accepted. Five rounds since 1988 have ended more than 350 military facilities, saving a lot of costs and freeing up resources for other priorities.
We need to adopt this right reform committee approach and adopt this procedure to consider the committee’s recommendations.

Take the simplest reforms to propose and pass: Over the next 60 years, the annual retirement age eligibility table will be added by one month. This will mean a year of eligibility age from 65 to 66, each year that will help social security align with actuarial tables to reflect our collective lifespan for longer. The reform that will move slowly is only available to those under 55, and the end result is that all Americans under 55 will not be able to undergo social security checks until they are 66 years old. This is a very mild but necessary bending of the cost curve of the rights.
Include such suggestions in a series of other cautious gradual reforms that we tangle, and then arrange the entire package to be held on or voted at the Congressional lascivious meeting in December 2026.
The deficit eagle can demand the right to try to actually resolve the deficit. They deserve it.
But is this what they want, or are they hoping to face time on a viral video that is here today and disappears before sunset?

This is a very serious moment in life in the country. Making the tax structure permanently rewards investment and risk is the most important thing Congress can do to ensure vibrant economic growth. Supplementing our defense inventory and accelerating ship and subsea construction is crucial to our safety. Preventing the permanent adoption of this tax law and much-needed investments in defense and border security will be reckless.
But if enough short-sighted public rise to stop OBBB, make them a quote they can’t refuse: more responsibility for speeches.
