Yep. The SALT cap is not a bug. It is a feature.
Yes - a really smart, long term strategy, both economically and politically.
The blue state politicians buy votes by promising free stuff - and have to keep raising taxes as a result. The SALT deduction protected them from the consequences. Removing the SALT deduction just makes them face the consequences they should have been facing all along.
Good for the economy because it forces states to control spending, AND, it is good politics because it eliminates the federal subsidization of Democrat free-stuff-for-vote give-aways.
Brilliant.
