What Republicans Could Cut to Pay for Trump’s Tax Cuts: Medicaid and More [1]

['Catie Edmondson', 'Andrew Duehren']

Date: 2025-01-23

Top Republicans are passing around an extensive menu of ideas to cover the cost of a massive tax cut and immigration crackdown bill. They could create a 10 percent tariff on all imports, bringing in an estimated $1.9 trillion. They could establish new work requirements for Medicaid recipients, bringing in $100 billion in savings.

They have even calculated that they could generate $20 billion by raising taxes on people who can use a free gym at the office, according to a 50-page list of options that the House Budget Committee has circulated in recent days.
