The Republicans have already screwed the pooch. In an effort to just “get something done”, they have cobbled together a giant pile of shit. Just yesterday things leaked out about JCT agreements on things that weren’t in either the House or Senate Bills, such as a 37% individual rate.
I met with a client today and basically just told him they are making this shit up as they go along.
The ONLY thing that is happening is maneuvering as to how this can fall within the Byrd rule so they don’t have to use 60 votes to pass it.
If anyone says this is simplification, I’m going to kick them in the ass. This is anything from it. It is also NOT the panacea tax cut the republicans are frothing over. Yes, businesses will get the lions share of the benefits, and it will be paid for by tax increases on the people making $100k - $400k that don’t happen to own a business. No one is talking about that.
And my take is not lib talking points. It comes from reading the bills, and seeing notices come to my email every two hours.
