7. Oh I would say putting the tax write off up to 10k in interest per year is pretty hefty

And highly unlikely to get into the bill because it wrecks it even further as far as the deficit it would create without adjustments elsewhere.

Yet she argued pretty forcefully for it on the floor. Saying it has been there since the Federal income tax was created.

I just don't see a way for the republicans to accommodate any of her amendments.

Without them I think she is a hard get. I hope.

It seems to be spinning out of control due to the trillion dollar deficit it creates. I am hoping they are going to fail this. I think they are.
