Document Introduction

This report is based on analysis materials from senior Democratic members of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee. It focuses on the deep connection between the Trump 2025 Plan and the Republican 2025 appropriations bill, and explores how the plan's policy ideas are transformed into specific legislative proposals, thereby systematically impacting American society, the economy, and the governance system. The Trump 2025 Plan is not merely a list of right-wing policies; it has deeply infiltrated the congressional legislative process. Its core objectives are to cut taxes for the wealthy, weaken regulatory systems, limit social welfare, and restructure the federal government's power architecture.

The report conducts empirical analysis across multiple key policy areas, revealing how the Republican appropriations bill echoes and implements the core demands of the plan. In the economic and livelihood sectors, the bill proposes tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations while significantly slashing funding for basic services such as education, job training, and public health. The Department of Education alone faces a 14% budget reduction, which would lead to hundreds of thousands of teachers losing their jobs and millions of students losing financial aid. In the realm of social rights, the bill implements comprehensive restrictions around abortion rights, including banning funding for Planned Parenthood, blocking interstate abortion services, and restricting related medical training. Simultaneously, it removes key terms like "gender equality" and "reproductive rights" from federal documents, reinforcing discriminatory policies against the LGBTQI+ community.

At the governance system level, the bill reflects the Trump 2025 Plan's intent to erode checks and balances: cutting budgets for the FBI and DOJ while limiting their enforcement scope, weakening the independence of the civil service system, granting the president greater authority over personnel appointments and policy direction, while also restricting election participation convenience and reducing election security safeguards. Regarding global governance and climate response, the bill proposes withdrawing from multiple international organizations, terminating funding for related UN agencies, drastically cutting funding for climate-related research and clean energy projects, completely reversing previous U.S. climate governance commitments.

Through comparative analysis of policy texts and quantitative data analysis, this report systematically demonstrates how the extreme policy tendencies of the Trump 2025 Plan are translated into specific governance actions via the appropriations bill. These proposals would not only exacerbate social polarization in the United States and weaken public service capacity but could also undermine the long-established system of separation of powers and the tradition of social inclusion, having profound negative impacts on the effectiveness of U.S. domestic governance and its international standing. All analysis is based on publicly available legislative texts and policy documents, providing objective and precise empirical evidence for understanding the dynamics and policy directions of right-wing politics in the United States.
