Maybe I have it wrong and you can clear this up for all of us. I sort of inferred that a bill was a pre cursor to a law and you didn't get the latter without the former. What is it they call that first thing that results in a law???
Perhaps you missed that the BIG is an attempt to RAISE income taxes. And so far as I know it is not even a bill before Congress let alone a law.
On 257 you say you are inferring. You can't if you are implying that a bill was a precursor. I inferred that all along but a bill is not a law and this bill will never report out as it was read in.
