Making the American Dream Affordable Again: RSC Officially Unveils Reconciliation 2.0 Framework
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Republican Study Committee (RSC) just released the Making the American Dream Affordable Again reconciliation framework, a bold roadmap for the next reconciliation bill that takes direct aim at the affordability crisis created by the Biden-Harris agenda.
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 for the next generation.
“President Biden spent four years making everything more expensive. President Trump and Republicans will spend the next three making the American Dream affordable again,”said RSC Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11). “This blueprint cuts costs where families feel it most—housing, health care, and energy—slashes woke and wasteful spending, and locks in President Trump’s deregulatory agenda through the only process Democrats can’t block: reconciliation. We’re focused on results - lower prices, more freedom, and a stronger future for American families. We have 11 months of guaranteed majorities. We're not wasting a single day.”
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.
A Conservative Roadmap That Can Pass
Built by nearly 190 RSC members spanning every House committee, the framework provides House and Senate leadership with a vetted, Byrd-rule-tested menu of policies, nearly 70 percent of which have already been introduced or passed by House Republicans.
As Democrats continue to obstruct, the RSC is making clear that Republican-led reconciliation remains the most effective—and only—path to delivering real results for the American people.
The Reconciliation 2.0 Framework is not a wish list. It is a governing blueprint to restore affordability, secure conservative victories, and make the American Dream attainable once again.
