And the mortgage deduction and state tax write off proposals are targeted at California / NY. I'm sure targeting wealthy coastal liberals is a feature for many Republicans, but as nearly every economist will tell you the mortgage interest deduction really is awful and should be nuked from orbit. It's probably the most intelligent thing this Congress has proposed, even if it is by accident.
