Winner or washout?

There’s been talk for months of Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill.

It’s been the source of a lot of controversy — even in-fighting within the Republican party and members of Congress on the right.

Some complain it doesn’t cut enough spending, others argue it doesn’t goes to far or doesn’t contain more a certain tax provision.

Well Thursday, the big bill passed its first big hurdle: it narrowly made it through the House after plenty of deal-making and good old-fashioned politics.

This is a big win for Trump’s agenda, but it’s only step one.

Now it has to make it through the Senate — which definitely won’t be a cakewalk.

While the House has a narrow 4 seat majority with competing interests, the Senate Republicans hold a 3 seat majority with almost equal factions of warring parties.

Especially since Sen. Ron Johnson and a handful of other senators are determined to stop the bill from moving forward without more significant spending cuts or reductions in deficit spending.

Johnson even compared the current bill as written to the Titanic.

Does he have a point?
