Tax Bill Mania! Not Finished Yet!

I have no idea what’s in the tax bill, but Jazzhands McFeels says it’s okay, so we’ll go with that – it’s okay.

The tax bill passed the Senate on Wednesday, by a vote of 51-48, but the bill won’t go to the president’s desk to be signed until the House corrects three provisions in their own tax bill that broke Senate rules.

The US Senate voted to pass their version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act after a 10-hour time frame was afforded to the chamber to debate the bill.

Its passage follows Vice President Mike Pence’s decision to cancel a trip to the Middle East, in case he was needed to break a voting tie to push the legislation through the upper chamber.

The US House of Representatives must now change three provisions it included in their own bill they voted to pass Tuesday, which did not adhere to Senate procedural rules.

The vote took place with a heavy US Capitol Police presence outside the chamber.

Protesters chanting “Kill the bill, don’t kill us” interrupted the Senate vote on passage of the tax bill early Wednesday, AP reported. Vice President Mike Pence, who was presiding, was forced to stop, repeatedly calling on the sergeant at arms to restore order.

I wish cops would have killed those protesters…

Protesters interrupted the House debate on the bill earlier in the day.

The three problematic provisions in the House bill relate to using educational savings accounts for homeschooling, and also deal with private endowments from universities, Reuters reported.

The offending provisions were called out after they violated the so-called Byrd Rule, which states that any proposed legislation going through the budget reconciliation process – the way the tax bill is – can be blocked due to the measure containing “extraneous matter” or anything “merely incidental” to the federal budget.

The House will vote on their bill again Wednesday, and if it passes, it will be sent to President Donald Trump’s desk to be signed into law. Both the Senate and House bills must fully align when passed individually in each chamber, before being sent to the president.

The House yesterday had to do a do-over vote because of the changes in the Senate.

It should be passed today.

It sure will be nice if Trump is actually able to get through a major piece of legislation.
