How much to trim Medicaid. How much to shift SNAP and Medicaid obligations onto the states. Whether to raise SALT caps. Whether to reduce the tax cuts or make them temporary.
Zero, a little, unlikely, no and they’ll be permanent. There you go!
It can't be zero. They need $880 billion in savings from that committee, and Medicaid is one of the very few places big enough to take from.
It can't be "a little" for the same reason.
The SALT caucus, and the five Rep Reps from the areas that have the highest SALT-eligible population, have insisted they will not vote for the final bill if there isn't a major increase to the SALT caps. So that has to be solved - or they have to be convinced to fail to deliver for their constituents.
Even solving for all of the above, it doesn't look like there's enough money in cuts to keep the tax cuts the same size and make them permanent. Which makes it harder for some Rep Reps to vote for them.
