It turned out that somewhere near the end Biden secretly got Manchinema on board. They let the sausage making lower the impact on the rich as far as it would go... and then added $200B and restored some popular feature. Biden was declared a political genius and his party ran on it, against a "GQP in disarray." Heh. The favorable Senate map helps the Dems net two Senate seats, and Trump fever finally breaks.

There's no place in the GQP for either of them.

Look, Trumps tax cuts hurt even middle class homeowners mostly in blue states because that's what Trump wanted.That's not cool. We owe it to them to double their SALT deduction to $20K.

REMEMBER, best of all, American millionaires are still paying for Build Back Better!

No, Elizabeth, it's waaay too soon to jump to any conclusions. Remember, Don't panic -- there'll be plenty of time to do that later!

Now that I know it's the state and local taxes version of the flexible acronym, my reaction is this is a tempest in a teapot. The Dems will self-correct and get it more or less right assuming they ever pass the soft-infrastructure bill at all.

What they should be concerned about is the polling showing that the flexible middle class of voters who are open to either moderate Repubs or moderate Dems in any given campaign are swinging against the Dems. Not because of property tax deductions, but because the Dems come across as elitist snobs. Or rather, because the Dems allow their elitist snobs to dominate the nation's view of what liberalism stands for these days. That's the messaging that the party needs to reform ASAP, rather than the technicalities of tax legislation.
