(Radio Iowa) – Both of Iowa’s U-S Senators have joined 48 other Republicans in voting to pass a bill to enact President Trump’s policy priorities on taxes and spending. Senator Chuck Grassley says voters in November gave Trump a mandate to fix the economy and secure the border and Grassley says the president’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” enacts the America First policies Trump and congressional Republicans promised.

Grassley says it prevents the largest tax increase in history by preserving the tax cuts Trump signed in 2017. Senator Joni Ernst authored an amendment to the bill to prevent people who are laid off — but have over a million dollars in income from other sources — from getting unemployment benefits. I-R-S records show over 21-thousand millionaires got unemployment checks in 2021 and 2022.
