I heard that another rider attached at the last minute eliminated tax credits for electric cars. If so, great move! We shouldn’t be subsidizing liberal elite driving choices.
I think Hillsdale should get the tax break.
Last nite someone said that the house will vote on the bill as is - no reconciliation. True or false?
My first thought as well.
I was going to offer odds.
Can’t we defund NPR/PBS? They act like the propaganda wing of the DNC.
I’m surprised they didn’t legalize rape and murder for government officials..
One of the most important isn’t listed.
It includes a repeal of the Obamacare mandate.
Bastards are bastards 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
They should have made it retroactive to Jan.1, 2017.
Sen. Joni Ernst
Eliminate Congress’ tax deduction for living expenses in D.C. Per the Omaha World-Herald, Ernst said: “Congress should lead by example and offer up its own unnecessary tax break.”
Atta girl Joni!
Did it include a corporate tax cut?
Hillsdale isn’t really a “Christian” college. It’s not Liberty, for example.
The Toomey-Cruz amendment related to Hillsdale is perfectly logical. Striking it is not fair. here’s why:
The exemption is to a tax established on colleges with over 500 students and more than a certain amount in endowments. The reason for it is that if you have such a big endowment and you’re receiving Federal aid, you’re placing an unnecessary burden on the taxpayers. (Why should we pay for what you’re doing if you have that yuuge endowment to pay for it?)
Hillsdale qualifies. It has a very large endowment thanks to its fights with the government and its large number of supporters. (Imprimis has over a million subscribers.)
But Hillsdale takes no government money — not even government-guaranteed student loans. So it is not placing the burden on the taxpayers that is the justification for the tax. So the amendment would exempt any college that would otherwise qualify for this endowments tax but does not take money under Title IV.
There are seven colleges in this country, of which Hillsdale is the most prominent, that do not take government money. It appears that Hillsdale is the only one of the seven that would qualify for the endowments tax.

But, especially since I learned she was stumping for Jeff Flake over his conservative challenger, I question everything she does.
