Still, not a single Republican senator complaining about the loss of all individual SALT deductions.

We all know that is how they are financing this tax cut orgy for the corporations - on the backs of everyone else.

They have given away the store to the corporate cuts so badly that they had to look for loose change by eliminating virtually every single deduction that individual filers claim.

And still it isn't enough.

The plan is for the House members to vote for the bill (even those Congressmen from NJ, NY, IL, CA, etc that know it will screw their constituents).

The House members can claim there was a fig leaf of relief for the middle class regarding SALT deductions (they only cut off one finger instead of all 5), and then the Senate version won't even let us keep that one finger. Then the Conference Committee goes with the Senate version, and the House members shrug their shoulders and say "Hey, we tried. Sorry."

I don’t believe the House will pass it as is.

Tomorrow we’ll hear of a postponement.

Kevin McCarthy has kept the CA delegation in line and so far they have not been publicly skittish.

However, tomorrow they have to cast a vote that will seal their 2018 fate. Most of them are not ready to retire.
