A two-year SALT cap repeal will cost more than TEN years of universal pre-k, or paid family leave. It will cost nearly as much as ten years of expanded EITC and child care credit credits. And it will cost more than making the current law CTC refundable permanently.

I’m fighting tirelessly to ensure that the reconciliation bill includes a repeal of the SALT cap — to deliver a much-needed tax cut to hard-working middle class families across Northern New Jersey. The SALT cap has hurt New Jersey families for too long.

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but revenue increases — especially from cutting tax breaks — would help to fight inflation, slow interest rate growth, and reduce the risk of a recession.

He's either lying or he's stupid. Either way, seems problematic that the head of the UN doesn't know about 30,000 dead Ukrainian civilians, the 300,000+ Syrian civilians who died, or the 400,000-600,000 Ethiopian deaths. These are all (rounded) UN numbers.

“Inflation” relative to a year earlier (YoY) fell from 9.1% in June to 8.5% in July. But inflation in the month of July is 0% because prices didn’t rise in July. This isn’t hard, people.

If inflation is at 8.5 percent in June and remains at 8.5 percent in July, it does NOT follow that the inflation rate for July is 0 percent. This is shameless prevarication!
