US House approves Trump tax cuts mega-bill Washington, United States The Republican-led US House of Representatives voted yesterday to approve President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax relief and spending cuts mega-bill that critics warn would decimate health care while ballooning the debt.

The “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” -- which now moves to the Senate -- would usher into law Trump’s vision for a new “Golden Age,” led by efforts to shrink social safety net programs to pay for a 10- year extension of his 2017 tax cuts.

The mammoth package passed along party lines -- 215 votes to 214 -- after Republican leadership quelled a rebellion on the party’s right flank that threatened its passage.
