The GOP's "big beautiful bill" would require people up to age 64 to certify they're working to get aid. Here's what the research shows.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Republican senators consider President Donald Trump’s big bill that could slash federal spending and extend tax cuts, a new survey shows most U.S. adults don’t think the government is overspending on the programs the GOP has focused on cutting, like Medicaid and food stamps.

Americans broadly support increasing or maintaining existing levels of funding for popular safety net programs, including Social Security and Medicare, according to the poll from The-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Senate Republicans on Monday proposed steeper Medicaid cuts than those included in the House-passed version of President Donald Trump’s signature policy bill—making the bill’s passage by the July 4 deadline set by Congressional Republicans even more uncertain as Medicaid cuts have been a major sticking point for some in the GOP.

The proposals from Republicans keep in place the current $10,000 deduction of state and local taxes, called SALT, drawing quick blowback from GOP lawmakers from New York and other high-tax states.

The Senate Finance Committee’s tax and health care additions to Republicans’ multitrillion-dollar policy megabill include deal-breaking changes that have thrown congressional Republicans in disarray.
