Reconciliation 2.0 rolled out this week as a much-needed booster shot for the Big Beautiful Bill—and it couldn’t come at a better time. The results from last summer are already obvious: energy prices are falling, inflation is easing, and the wreckage left by Joe Biden’s reckless economic agenda is finally being cleaned up. That’s not an accident; it’s conservative policy working exactly as promised. Another package like this isn’t just justified—it’s necessary.
The latest inflation report confirms the trend, but the next step is obvious: rate cuts. Unfortunately, that won’t happen as long as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is at the helm, paralyzed by fear and determined to slow-walk relief simply because it aligns with the Trump agenda.
With the framework now out in the open, the verdict is already clear. The plan is packed with pro-worker, pro-family priorities—unleashing American energy, jump-starting real economic growth, and tearing down barriers that have locked working Americans out of homeownership. This is exactly the kind of agenda Washington has refused to deliver for years. And the response speaks for itself: a wide range of organizations have weighed in, and the bill is earning high marks across the board. The message is unmistakable—this framework gets it right.

“National Taxpayers Union applauds the Republican Study Committee for jumpstarting the conversation about a second reconciliation bill focused on protecting taxpayers, reducing the deficit, and lowering costs for working families, said Brandon Arnold, Executive Vice President, National Taxpayers Union.
“Chairman Pfluger’s vision includes many solutions to address our troubling fiscal situation, particularly in health care, energy, and wasteful spending. We look forward to helping many of these good ideas come to fruition so we can help preserve the American Dream for future generations by providing a much-needed dose of fiscal discipline to runaway government spending,” Arnold continued.
Others chimed in on the positive side as well.
“The Immigration Accountability Project is proud to support the RSC’s Making the American Dream Affordable Again reconciliation framework,” said Grant Newman, who serves as its director of government relations. “This would build upon the historic success of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act by expanding the tax on remittances, blocking illegal aliens from public benefits and tax credits, and withholding federal funds from sanctuary jurisdictions and states that issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.”
Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX) also praised the bill in an interview with Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo, likening this legislation to executing a two-minute drill in the NFL:
It’s got to be quick. I mean, we have to move with a sense of urgency. The scope and the scale can’t be as big as the One Big Beautiful Bill, but as many of my colleagues have said, it will be just as beautiful. So it needs to move within the next couple of months. I think of it like a two-minute drill in football, where we’re moving quickly.”
Obviously, the Republican Study Committee is a fiscally conservative group, and we want to see a deficit reduction so that’s going to be a big tenet of it. Now, the hard work begins of us really talking about and having a dialogue and a debate about what can go in there, but it does need to save money. Just take Minnesota and the fraud that’s going on. There’s plenty of money to be saved, and attacking that fraud is a big piece of it.
The real problem isn’t the vote math—though with the GOP’s razor-thin House majority, that’s always lurking in the background. The deeper issue is the same old dysfunction on Capitol Hill: the Senate. As usual, senators are dragging their feet, posturing, and signaling discomfort with a bill that actually does something.
Time will tell. And the two-minute drill has begun. But so far, Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team have done a bang-up job for Americans.
