Not so good here in NJ
State income taxes are high here, so the loss of that deduction will hurt.
Also, real estate taxes are high here, and the elimination of deductions over $10K will hurt.
The losers will be people with mid-to high salaries who own homes with high taxes.
Ditto with NY.
No one is sweating, though.
The pendulum will swing quickly and the dems will reverse it all.
It's really wild to see dems complaining about budget deficits and repubs saying they're OK
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
