Pfluger Unveils RSC Reconciliation 2.0 Framework — A WIN for Hardworking Texans

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), appeared on CNBC's Squawk Box to unveil the RSC's Reconciliation 2.0 framework: Making the American Dream Affordable Again.

This comprehensive document is a win for Texans and all Americans alike. It is a bold roadmap for House Republicans' next reconciliation bill that aims to tackle the affordability crisis created by former President Biden's administration.

The plan lays out a clear, actionable strategy to restore the American Dream of homeownership, reduce health care premiums, cut energy prices, rebuild the American family, and slash wasteful government spending while codifying President Trump's America First agenda that puts American families, not Washington bureaucrats, first.

"Texans are tired of excuses from Washington. They want lower prices, less government, and real results," said RSC Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11). "It's no secret that families across the nation are paying more for gas, housing, and health care because of failed Biden-era policies. This plan takes a sledgehammer to that unaffordable agenda, cutting waste, unleashing American energy, and making it easier for Texans to own a home, afford high-quality health care, and keep more of their hard-earned paycheck. We have 11 months of guaranteed majorities. We're not wasting a single day."

For years, hardworking Texans have been stretched thin from skyrocketing prices for groceries, gas, rent, and health care. The RSC's Reconciliation 2.0 framework flips the script.

A Plan Built Around Affordability

The RSC's Reconciliation 2.0 Framework centers on three pillars rooted in building off the success of the Working Families Tax Cuts to deliver lasting affordability:

· Housing: restoring the American Dream of homeownership by expanding supply, lowering mortgage barriers, eliminating marriage penalties, and stopping policies that crowd Americans out of the housing market.

· Health Care: putting patients back in control, lowering drug prices, increasing transparency, and ensuring taxpayer-funded benefits serve American citizens-not bureaucrats or special interests.

· Energy: unleashing American energy dominance by cutting red tape, accelerating permitting, and driving down energy bills and prices at the pump.

The framework also achieves over$1 trillion in net deficit reduction, and permanently codifies more of President Trump's historic executive actions so future administrations cannot reverse them.
