Senate Republicans ignored the warnings from the House that messing with the state and local tax deduction might kill the whole bill, and lowered the deduction anyway, and GOP civil war looms.
As a tax accountant I feel compelled to point out the 10,000 is what it is currently; the amount Trump brought it down to in his 2017 bill. So “lowering it” means no change whatsoever.
Thank you. That’s a big smack in the face by Senate Republicans to their House Republican colleagues. May they all eat each other publicly and destroy the chance of this bill passing.
I don't fault the NE moderates in blue states for trying to get more, because voting for this bill on its own without something to at least sell to their constitutents seems like a political death sentance, but when even MAGA Mike is saying don't do this, or it may blow up the entire bill, and they do it anyway, well, that is some serious insanity.---Jason
No one is talking about the abortion component of the bill that would run against laws in 12 states. Not likely Senate and House members will want this on their records next year and state legislatures will oppose as well.
We have heard this same old BS from senate republicans before. They will collapse as soon as TACO. Donny gets on the phone and starts to threaten republicans. This whole bill is structured to do one thing and make TACO Donny’s wealthy tax cuts permanent at the expense of the poor and middle class.
I am thrilled that the Republicans are fighting over this. When will they wake up and realize that giving big tax cuts to the very wealthy is going to add to the deficit, which is already too high? The majority of voters are not billionaires. If they don’t fix this bill, I hope it is dead on arrival when it goes back to the House.
Now that DHS is out of money, how are they going to keep justifying adding to the deficit. I vote let DHS/ICE personnel go the way of the DOGE cuts until they get a new budget in October. Immigrants will be safer and maybe puppy killer ICE Barbie and Miller will learn to manage their money better :) Oh, and let this bill go down in flames. Start over!
They are criminals like their esteemed leader. Hope they eat each other alive.
They will.

Upper middle class (eg 100,000 annually.) really took it in the shorts with the 2017 bill.
No deductions for professional development.
Salt double taxed.
That was my client base, and they lost a lot.
Former tax accountant here - the utter brilliance of these Republicans amazes me at times!
I never paid Federal Taxes until 2017. Why of Why do Billionaires need MORE BILLIONS?! This is the insane part.

Let’s hope the whole thing implodes! Write to your representatives and remind them that they work for you. Not Trump. Not the Republican Party. You!
Let's make SURE the whole thing implodes. Call Senators, Rally, Resist, Boycott Billionaires with endless pressure endlessly applied.
It couldn't happen to a finer group of bought off, grifting MAGAs. I think Mike Johnson might
find that he gets the short end of a long stick and is summarily "fired."
Burn Baby Burn 🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏. Make the Republicans feel the pain of the American people!!!!!

I can’t wait until little Mikey returns to being a back bencher!

Sale of federal lands should be a deal breaker.
Sarah, in any decent world it would be

There are a number of pro-fascist anti-democratic provisions in this bill that are probably more important.
This tRump bullshit is America’s shame! Truck Fump and the GQPigs!
the bill is a terrible one. I hope it collapses!
Instead of a budget they need to negotiate impeachment for tariffs and overreach and stop the insanity of DOGE cuts. No negotiate=no moola.
Agreed

I think they are cry babies 😭 and they don’t belong in congress or the senate!!! These people are all traitors to America and our democracy
