I predict that just before Christmas Mitch will come out with a shrug and say well we tried but we just ran out of time. They have no intention of tax reform.
I sadly believe you are all too correct.
It has become as transparent as a window that the Republicans as a party do not want to implement the mandate from the American people.
Because that mandate in the end means less money and power for them.
This isn’t tax reform. This is moving some numbers around so that some people’s taxes go up and others have their taxes go down.
Real reform is impossible for a number of reasons. The two biggest are 1. they failed to repeal Obamacare and 2. they have to pass this via reconciliation.
