apparently SALT is worth 1 trillion over 10 years just by itself. That kinda pays for everything. Since 70% of people use standardized deductions anyway only the top 30% ever get to use it and the lower half of them will be using the doubled standardized deductions as well.

well thank you captain obvious. one of the last few tests of the GOP will be do they protect these special interest tax breaks or do they shuffle off the coil of being bought and paid for by making a much fairer taxation/theft system? and will the dems support or oppose it? will trump cave or stand fast? oh what a wicked web we weave...........

im very interested in SALT going away. I think politically it is one of the best things the gop can do and will hurt the democrat donor base.
