THREAD: GOP Senators say they're trying to scale back the SALT cap relief in the House bill. But could their approach to SALT end up *more* generous & costly overall than the House bill? Do Senators – or does anyone – even know, despite the intense political focus on SALT?
New: distributional analysis of the tax part of the Senate plan
In the Senate plan, ppl who make a million+ per year get more than twice as much as the bottom half of America combined
After incorporating the Medicaid & SNAP cuts, the poor get poorer while the rich get richer
The Senate's One Big Beautiful Bill tax provisions are one big tax cut for rich people.
The tax cut for millionaires as a share of income is 10x larger than for low-income families.
And this doesn't even show how cuts to Medicaid/SNAP as well as tariffs make families worse off.
