After days of intense negotiations, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed a sweeping tax and spending bill that would enact much of President Trump’s policy agenda and add to the country’s trillions of dollars of debt. 

The bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where Republicans have far different ideas about what should be in the legislation.  

Joining the discussion: 

  • Joel Rubin is a former Deputy Assistant U.S. Secretary for House Affairs. 
  • Anthony Chan served as a senior economist with JPMorgan Chase.  
  • Rina Shah is a political commentator and strategist.  
  • Jadan Horyn is a political analyst.
