SALT
-
Was the SALT part of the infrastructure package? Or is it part of the 1.75 Trillion Dollar Sweepstakes?

So it still has to get past the Senate.

My property taxes are creeping up to 40k, only 10k is deductible. If they let me deduct it all that’s a nice 10k boost on the margin.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are people in your area who live in a trailer park but drive a Porsche. I wonder what kinds of incentives are caused by such massive property taxes, as opposed to collecting the same money via income tax or VAT.

But I do believe the GOP will be campaigning all over this one.

Trump's surprise post on SALT deductions Tuesday has forced Senate Republicans into a pickle: contradict their party's leader or their old positions.
Why it matters: For Republican leaders, it's a taste of what's to come if Trump wins back the White House.
They'll have to harmonize their own positions — in real time — with a president who is constantly changing his.
Trump posted he would "get SALT back."That's a strong indication he wants to let those in high-tax states deduct more than $10,000 from their federal taxes — a limit he championed in his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
and
The bottom line: Removing the $10,000 SALT cap would cost an estimated $1.2 trillion over a decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Government.
An estimated 92% of the benefit would go to the top 10% of earners, according to CRFB. -
Just to show you how old I am, I thought this was about the nuclear arms race. (If you have to look that up, you are too young)

"Trump takes SALT away so he can promise to give it back later and the cult I mean crowd goes wild."
Sorta like a anti-IRS.
Meet the Press (in the 1980s): "So the IRS is going to lower the rates, but also eliminate a lot of deductions. What's to keep the IRS from raising the rates again?"
George Will: "Absolutely nothing."
If I had to guess, it was not The GOP's or Trump's idea to limit the SALT deduction. Probably part of a compromise.

It's so weird that this doesn't matter at all. No other politician but Trump can pull shit like this off... but it really doesn't make a diff.
This and him clearly being bought off on Tik Tok.... doesn't matter.
Politics has gone overtly into being about the "vibes".... I think it'll drive disengagement. I don't care much what happens in November this year.
