Breaking: CONGRESS HAS NOT PASSED A TAX BILL YET. House & Senate passed 2 different bills. Nothing to send to president yet. This is half time. Plenty of bills have gotten this far and never become law.

I'm often Pollyannish on this stuff, but I don't think Lawrence is right. My understanding is that this bill is going to zoom through conference. I hope I'm wrong.
Other people's reactions so far today:
I think we can stop calling the Senate "the world's most deliberative body."

Vile.
Heartless.
We must UNSEAT every red seat in 2018.
They have just screwed the future of our children to appease the rich.
They will cause the death of vulnerable Americans in our society.#TaxScamBill
Senate Republicans will join with the House and eliminate the poor. The poor will lose housing, medical care, and food. There never was a death panel until 12/2/17. Only Republicans can be this cruel. pic.twitter.com/OqZZF4Ref8

Without even considering the other tax benefits, the elimination of the estate tax alone will save them over $10 billion.
Their investment to kill the poor paid off.#TaxScamBill
Yup.
