House Speaker Mike Johnson : Tax and border bill passed, just barely, one vote margin.

He says it's the most consequential legislation Congress will pass in many generations.

Johnson : It's not an economic gamble, it's a big investment in the U.S. economy.

The bill will foster a pro growth economy, he says.

Goldman Sachs is discounting the growth that will be spurred on by this legislation, and the fact that the so-called tariff war is beginning to subside already, says Sen. Johnson .

Johnson : We're working on fraud, waste and abuse, and everyone in Louisiana understands that that's a responsibility of Congress . What we're doing is strengthening Medicaid and SNAP programs.

Josh Hawley has been arguing it is 'morally wrong and politically suicidal' to slash health insurance for the working poor.

He said the cost sharing language will force people at or just over the federal poverty level to pay as much as $35 for a medical visit, which means working people will pay more.

Senator Hawley objects to that language, but it's going to change when it goes to the Senate .
