The House's approval of President Trump's tax cuts and spending package marks a pivotal shift in U.S. fiscal policy. While promising substantial tax relief and increased national security funding, the legislation's financing through significant federal safety net reductions raises concerns about its impact on the most vulnerable Americans.

Iowa's U.S. House members — all Republicans — voted Thursday to pass President Donald Trump's $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill, sending it to him to sign before the Fourth of July holiday weekend and just a few hours before Trump was set to speak in Des Moines at an event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
