Who was she? I think she voting proxy for a Louisiana rep. She was very sarcastic in her tone - "Build Back Broke!" and yelling at the Speaker

Gone if BBB as drafted passes, unless the Senate acts to remove the change. They had the change to close them in, then they removed it, but then they added closing the back doors back in as a PAY FOR when they added in the SALT giveaways.

It’s not pay for for SALT. SALT actually is a revenue increase under the bill because under current law the $10k cap goes away after 2025.

The fact that you can say this with a straight face..

NP here: it's actually true. The $10K SALT cap imposed by the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act (rammed thru Congress by Republicans via reconciliation) expires completely in 2025. If Congress takes no action on SALT before 2025, the $10K cap will essentially go away by itself and create large deficits (absent no spending cuts or other tax increases).

By raising the cap for everyone or removing it completely for anyone under $550K income threshold, you actually reduce the deficit through 2031 relatives to the status quo (full expiration for everyone in 2025).

The Congressional Budget Office said on Thursday that over the course of a decade, the changes to the deduction would amount to a tax increase that would raise about $14.8 billion in revenue.

PP here, Thank you. It’s a good example of why the CBO score isn’t all that meaningful. The score is developed assuming current law even if everyone knows the law is going to be changed.

BBB is NOT infrastructure.
The campaign ads targeting vulnerable Democrats in swing districts nearly write themselves.

BBB has all the clean energy infrastructure spending - solar, wind, biofuels, etc. Huge projects in the pipeline if BBB is passed.

What about the ones targeting GOP: you support more inflation, more debt, expensive insulin, no PK etc.

This bill has a 65%+ approval rating. Good luck going against it.

So, democrats in disarray, right?

All those MSM talking heads don't like BBB because they are the ones who will get taxed to pay for it. The "disarray" narrative will continue.

If that were true McCarthy’s speech would have been a lot better.
