From my understanding, the House version is “crappy” because they think they can’t add certain things under reconciliation which Cruz say they can add. They add the things to make it NOT “crappy” . . . and they say but you can’t do that under reconciliation . . . whereas Cruz says you can IF Pence says they can . . . So it goes from a CRAPPY bill to maybe a Good OR Better bill that Cruz, Lee & Paul can vote for with the 51 or 52 votes and not 60 like Ryan thinks they need. Tort reform can be added and seems like something else I’m forgetting at the moment.
What I don’t understand are the Tax Refunds . . . I haven’t read the whole bill as it stands today . . . I’m not necessarily against them but one should never get back more than they paid in OR get a refund IF they didn’t pay anything in. I’m ok with making health insurance tax deductible like a mortgage but never receive back more than you paid in. Helps equalize the playing field for those who have employer paid insurance to those who don’t.
Thanks. Great post.
Ryan knows they don’t need 60. He’s a piece of garbage.
And yes, mexican ILLEGALS got checks as high as 25k in back earned income credits for the kids while working illegaly.
I highly DOUBT that the bill prevents some from get more money than they gave in taxes.
But now I need to find out. Then it’s past bad.
It’s insane.
