¶ Alfonso Praised Republicans’ One Big, Beautiful Bill And Promised To Do More
Alfonso Praised Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts And Said He Wanted To Do More, While Claiming He Would Protect Social Security And Medicare For “Those Who Earned It.” According to Michael Alfonso during a telephone rally, “A big part of fighting the radical left is delivering the Trump agenda for regular Americans. So people are no longer struggling financially. And as you know, Mr. President, that's exactly why I'm running. Our farmers were crushed by years of Biden inflation, bad trade deals and tons of government regulation. But Wisconsin families have received much needed ease with strong policies like the working families tax cuts. But President Trump and I want to do more. So here's what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for our farmers so they can pass their land down to the next generation instead of selling it off under President Trump's leadership. Farm families no longer have to worry about the death tax. I'm fighting for tax cuts and affordability. Still, a family in Wausau or Rhinelander can fill up their tank and filled their fridge without doing the math three times over. And hey, I'm a math guy. It's what I studied at UW Madison. And we all know the math is starting to not add up in Washington. So I'm fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare for the generation that earned it.” [Alfonso for Congress Tele Rally, 7/29/26] (audio)

May 2025: The Passage Of The Budget Bill Was A “Triumphant Moment For Johnson,” Who Got The Bill Passed With A Singular Vote Margin. According to ABC News, "A smiling Speaker Mike Johnson announced the massive measure passed by a single vote -- 215-214 -- and was greeted with applause. He had struggled to get it done -- as he had promised -- by Memorial Day, before lawmakers go on recess. The sweeping package of tax cuts, Medicaid reform and immigration spending delivers on many of the president's domestic campaign promises. Following debate that stretched Wednesday through the entire night and into early Thursday morning, the vote was a triumphant moment for Johnson, who conquered sharp divisions among his conference ‘through a lot of prayer’ amid a historically low 3-vote majority."

HEADLINE: "Trump And GOP’s Tax Bill Would Force Cuts To Medicare, CBO Says" [Washington Post, 5/21/25]
The Congressional Budget Office Estimated That The House Republican Reconciliation Bill Would Trigger Nearly $500 Billion In Cuts To Medicare. According to a letter the Congressional Budget Office sent to Rep. Brendan Boyle, "Today the Congressional Budget Office transmitted an estimate of the budgetary effects of the 2025 reconciliation bill, as ordered reported by the House Committee on the Budget on May 18, 2025. 1 CBO has not yet completed estimates of the effects of interactions among the titles of the legislation. This letter responds to your questions concerning the sequestration (the cancellation of budgetary resources) in accordance with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (S-PAYGO) that would occur if an enacted bill raised deficits by $2.3 trillion over 10 years. Under S-PAYGO, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to maintain 5- and 10-year scorecards that it updates with the estimated cumulative changes in revenues and outlays generated by newly enacted legislation. […] The 4 percent maximum reduction in Medicare spending would apply to sequestration orders for years after 2026. If OMB ordered a sequestration of $230 billion for each year through 2034, the ordered reductions in Medicare spending would increase to about $75 billion in 2034 and would total roughly $490 billion over the 2027–2034 period."
