Gary Cohn, the president's top economic adviser, already told many lies yesterday morning about Donald Trump's tax "plan," which Cohn and Trump keep LYYYYYYYYYYING will benefit middle-class and poor people, who will actually not see any tax relief any at all under it (while the very poorest people's tax rate goes UP, from 10 percent to 12), and denying that rich people will get
Family vacation? Well, I guess I could save it up and relax for a couple of days in Bakersfield, maybe take a little side trip to Barstow, assuming all the other vacationers haven't filled the Motel 6.
Pence saying that the Trump plan will simplify tax codes, repeal the ‘death tax’ and reduce the number of taxable brackets from seven down to three — adding the plan will be passed before Christmas.
With billions of dollars at stake, corporations, trade associations and advocacy groups have been eager to weigh in on key tax provisions as the White House formulated its plan, something experts believe will continue as lawmakers finalize the legislation. Lobbying reports from the first half of 2017 show that several elements of the framework have drawn attention from special-interest groups.
“There’s a lot of uncertainty with the way the legislative process has begun — there are more unanswered questions than answered questions,” Eric Hananel, a principal at the accounting firm UHY LLP, who specializes in tax issues, told International Business Times. “What ultimately gets enacted could be extremely different from what we see today… The lobbyists are going to have a lot of influence as to how the legislation is ultimately drafted.”
Buried in the fine print of the newly released Senate Republican budget: language making it much easier to rush a tax cut through Congress.
The budget would erase a Senate rule requiring a full Congressional Budget Office estimate of the cost of the legislation at least 28 hours before a vote. It would get rid of a provision that required a Senate budget reconciliation bill to reduce the deficit by at least as much as a House reconciliation bill. That language caused headaches for Republicans during their failed Obamacare repeal effort.
"They learned some lessons from Obamacare repeal and they are doing this in order to rush deficit-increasing tax legislation through," said Ed Lorenzen, a senior adviser for the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
No doubt that Republicans would consider people from Puerto Rico as "illegal" but they are US Citizens and once they move into one of the 50 states, they get to vote for President, Senators, House member, Governor, et al. Let's see that come the next election the Republicans have a major PR problem!
That was with my brother and I doing all the work. New floor tile, new lighting, new cabinets, new appliances, new countertops, that stuff adds up. These days, $1000 will get you one appliance at best- as long as you're not real picky and settle for mid level stuff.
When I was in the custom cabinet biz I built and installed many kitchens like that pictured. As a general rule they cost $1,000---per running foot without the fancy features. Typical price range (no appliances) was $50k to $70k . That was 20 years ago.
Yes and the three chaps almost got shot and killed, iirc

Desultorily is my new favorite word.

I redid my kitchen about 15 years ago and it cost me about ten times that thousand dollars
