Trump's Big Lie: Why Trump's 'giant' middle class tax cut is less than advertised

the 'president is OVERSTATING??....NO the 'president' is LYING

President Trump on Wednesday made what the White House billed as his "closing argument" for the Republican tax plan making its way through
Congress. His main argument: The proposals will result in a "giant tax cut" for the middle class.

"We want to give you ... a giant tax cut for Christmas and when I say 'giant' I mean giant," Trump said.

The final bill is still being worked out. But based on what is known of the House and Senate tax bills that are currently being merged, the president is overstating it when
he describes middle class tax cuts as "giant."

This crappy bill is going to cost me $2500 per year due to losing the deduction for state and local taxes

I doubt that he even knows what's in the bill.

That sort of reduces the charge to "shilling".
