Congress busy helping their masters

RICO the bastards

House released a list of options to use to pay for next tax bill to extend current tax cuts for corporations and high income indivuals

10% Tariff

Would increase revenue by $1.9 trillion

Applied to all imports

Border Adjustment Tax

Increase revenue by $1.2 trillion

Would create a new consumption tax on all imported goods. Basically disallow deductions for costs of imports

Repeal SALT Deduction ENTIRELY

Increase revenue by $1 trillion

This would remove even the $10,000 allowed deduction for state and local tax.

Eliminate Home Mortgage Interest Deduction

Increase revenue by $1 trillion

Currently allowed to deduct interest on primary residence - this would eliminate that.

Repeal Green Energy Credits

Save $796 billion

Would eliminate clean vehicle, clean energy, efficient building, and other energy credits that were introduced in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Cutting additional IRA Green-related credits could add $405 billion in savings.

Tax Scholarship and Fellowship Income

Would increase revenue $54 billion

Currently these are excluded as long as they're used on tuition and related expenses. This option would make them taxable.

Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing

Would increase revenue $500 million

Expanding the current leases for onshore sites.

The options for revenue to offset the planned TCJA extension (reconciliation) bill take up over 50 pages - so there are way more than this.

But this provides some insight into where their heads are at.
