I don't get it. The individual mandate generates revenue. Removing it would mean less money for tax cuts.

at the date posted:Halving the mortgage interest tax credit is one of the few parts of the tax plan that doesn't gently caress poor and middle class people, and if this does trigger some kind of crisis, then there was a bubble and it was going to pop sooner or later. In high price markets it does. As ridiculous as it sounds, a $700k house in some areas IS middle class.

A new poll shows a sizeable majority of Americans think the special investigation is being handled well and also that Manafort and Gates should burn. Sizeable numbers also think Papadopoulos indicates other poo poo was happening. The numbers cut somewhat among partisan lines, but a lot of independents and a sizeable number of Republicans also think Trump is full of poo poo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...m=.141069ee6b9d

BigDave posted:You wouldn't have to give up state and local tax deduction all the way. You could knock it back to 50% and increase the standard, split the difference. Sure. But because they want to ram this through without bipartisan support, they can't add to the deficit. Which means they have to cut from some areas to afford those savings in others.

TheGreasyStrangler posted:Did Trump not push for Gillespie? He didn’t hesitate to throw him under the bus. Why would any Republican hitch his campaign to that moron at this point? The Republican primary was between Gillespie and a hardcore Bannonite. Gillespie barely won, and had to run far to the right in hopes of pulling in the red caps. It was already a long shot in a state that Clinton won by 5 points, and it looked like it did nothing more than galvanize the centrists and progressives in the state.

Officially up to 15 seats clinched now, with one more that was decided by 12 votes and is headed for a recount. Dems may end up splitting the house evenly.
