I don’t see it getting a lot of attention.
You're absolutely right and Republicans are being very, very quiet about that. Just like they don't want to talk about no more deduction for student loan interest, there will be lots of millennials hurt by that little stunt

so this is what you have devolved to? Literally making no sense and hoping people don't check back one page to see the useless drivel you put out into the either? You can't support any of your argument so you pick up the tired cliche of CNN Fake News to change the subject, meanwhile 3 pages later and you still haven't figure out I wasn't; the poster who brought out CNN...

Do you have a link? Nevermind, found an article about the cap. Wow, this really is a tax break for the middle class.
Allowing people to partially keep a deduction that they already have is "really a tax break"? WTF

Gives people incentive to get on their city,county, state governments to reign in taxes if they live in a high tax state.

There's more than just federal taxes.

Dear I simply said CNN wasn't a reliable source. Nothing else.

The OP did say that Trillions would be going to the rich, which is mathematically impossible.

If you want to defend this, then have at it. No need to bash me. Logic & fact don't require it.

Looks like we will get more of the same, deficits will rise Trillions more and we will be further in debt, more money will be printed, and the value of the dollar will shrink further, meaning what you may have will be worth less and the Nation will continue it's slide downward.
You can claim anything you want but this tax Bill is Exactly what everyone knew it would be, a tax cut for the rich while everyone else gets shafted. The GOP are their own worst enemy, by the time the 2020 elections come around and people are hurting bad enough due to the GOP actions you are toast if you have an R behind your name on a ballot. That is what happen when One Party has all the power, either you make things better and get the praise or you make things worse and you have no one to blame but yourselves. Enjoy..............

Tax changes won't change any of what you stated above.
You have issues far beyond the current tax proposal.
