As they should. The deduction for state and local taxes mainly enables the blue states to drag down the US economy with higher taxes. The deductions for large amounts of mortgage interest just changes consumption patterns, picking winners and losers.
The Fed Gov should stop spending on crazy "studies", over payments for for normal goods, crony deals, the damned ILLEGAL INVADERS, payments for so-called farmers, who really aren't framers at all, ever bigger government jobs/duplicate government jobs, and on and on and on.
This so-called "tax cut" mess DOES indeed "pick winners and losers", which it should NOT do!
