LOL.
Dem Rep. Josh Gottheimer from New Jersey announced the reinstatement of the SALT deduction to the final Build Back Better bill.
In other words, this is a massive tax cut for the rich, primarily in blue states:
Great news! Here come tax cuts for New Jersey families!
Reinstating the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction will be in the final legislative package. Now, we need to get it to the floor for a vote.
We’re going to get this done.

Needless to say, this isn’t going over well with fellow progs:

What a complete a total clown show:
This would be a $500 BILLION TAX CUT, with over $400 billion going to the top 5% of households.
This is more than they are spending on ANYTHING ELSE in the bill. It's 2.5x as much as they are spending on child tax credit and EITC combined! https://t.co/LqJaXXYihJ
