[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no GOP Senators who care about SALT and the bill hasn’t passed yet so you have no idea what is going to happen.[/quote]

The margins in the House are razor-thin, they're already mad about a bunch of other changes in the Senate bill, and if the NY Republicans tank the bill then SALT caps go away entirely and they come off to their constituents as heroes, so I think they're very likely to hold firm there. They'll pass something and then go to conference and the final bill will greatly increase SALT caps.[/quote]

Under the iteration most likely to pass, people making over certain income thresholds get no benefit from the changes.  So, this will be irrelevant to those impacted by Mamdani’s insane proposed tax hikes [/quote]

Exactly. I am far from rich but when the reduction was made it had almost no negative impact on me as I wasn’t benefitting much to begin with due to AMT. Everyone is getting worked up over nothing.

That said, this is a mess for NYC. And it is a mess for Dems nationally. Fox News will have a field day and it will be a rallying cry for Republicans nationally. Similar to how AOC is their meal ticket - she doesn’t know when to shut up so feeds them sound bites. Their reporters specifically go to her rather than anyone else.

If people didn’t like Cuomo (which I get), Lander should have been the choice.[/quote]

Yes, this is a disaster. I am bracing myself for rampant crime, drug addiction, and all the other delightful stuff that came out of electing a socialist in Portland and San Francisco.

I liked Lander and had long planned to rank him first, but shifted to Cuomo in the end when I felt I had no other choice. I'm guessing others in my shoes just stayed home.

Disaster.[/quote]

I'm hoping to be proven wrong but not holding out much hope for that.[/quote]
