Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Pa., told Newsmax on Wednesday that he considers the budget bill taking up the full attention of the House this week to be a "big step" forward.
"This bill is not the end in many ways. It's the beginning," Meuser said on "Newsline."
Meuser said lawmakers are working with the White House to craft a framework and that the House is doing its job.
"This bill is a big step in the right direction. It's largely complete," he said, but added, "It's not perfect."
Meuser said he hopes other members of Congress remember it may not be possible to fix everything in what many refer to as the "Big, Beautiful Bill," especially when it comes to yanking green energy subsidies set up by the Biden administration.
"You can't just pull these things out today, and companies have to live with it tomorrow," Meuser said.
Some predictions claim a full House vote on the bill could be taken on Wednesday, while others say Thursday is more likely.
