Before you read further, please consider going back to read my summary of some of the most politically toxic components of House Democrats' so-called "Build Back Better" plan.
The House and Senate's dueling proposals to expand the state and local tax deduction would both deliver large tax cuts to the wealthy, while failing to do much for middle-income households, according to new analysis from the Urban-Brooking Tax Policy Center.
That's the lie Democrats told about Republicans' across the board tax cuts in 2017.
It's also the truth about what Democrats have literally voted to pass in the House of Representatives.
In my Monday piece, I quoted a liberal economist warning that his party's math - and even the ugly Congressional Budget Office "Score" that Democrats did their best to manipulate - rely on "Budget gimmicks" explicitly designed to hide the proposal's true cost.
House Democrats explicitly rejected CBO's calculations in order to ram through their ludicrous, poison-pill-laden bill, and they declined a JCT score.
Senior GOP aide JP Freire asks an entirely reasonable question: "Which Democrats want these to be only temporary?" By all means, step right up, Democrats.
The truth is that most Democrats will tout the lower number, knowing full well that it's fake, with every intention of endlessly renewing spending into oblivion.
