The only reason there is a debate over SALT and mortgage interest deductions is because the pathetic idiot party who controls all three branches of government are so utterly incompetent and beholden to deep pocket contributors that they can’t even CUT TAXES without fiddly-farting around with deductions.
This is deduction reform, NOT tax reform. Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave.
Did you see the budget Trump submitted to Congress?
He took an ax to government agencies. The House and Senate laughed in his face. You can’t lay this one on the executive branch.
At this point in time, not actually cutting taxes for 99.9999% of the peeps is a big mistake.
Post #7 - amen. Also, torturing the hostages does not set them free. People are going to be severely hurt by this. To them, MAGA is dead. They have been betrayed. Even Obama didn’t raise our taxes like this.

You need to get yourself some patience. Trump has been president for ten months, and he has, despite some nearly insurmountable odds, moved mountains. It’s fine to say “off with their heads” as regards tax deductions, but a meat axe approach might well bring with it some really pissed off people who needed some time to adjust to reforms. For shit’s sake, give the man some time! It isn’t like he’s got al lot of support from his own party, on top of the onslaught of the MSM, Mueller and the rest of the RAT contingent! Anything they do in the short-term is just a start. The Stock Market is our friend, and where it’s going is helping to drive a stake through the hearts of both the RATs and the RINOs.
It's really that simple. Republicans -- and by this I mean Republican voters, not elected officials -- are just as addicted to government spending as Democrats are.

Reagan signed the bill that ended the deductibility of Credit Card interest - which hit a number of people, hard. Had there been more conservatives in Congress, I have NO DOUBT that he would have done the same for SALT.
