re: #507 lawhawk

The GOP proposal indeed claims that they would close loopholes and eliminate deductions - except that they haven’t actually stated what any of them would be. That’s left to imagination, and there’s no way to tell, let alone score, that kind of proposal without them getting into specifics.

It’s the Romney/Ryan Plan again: Propose cutting tax rates and then making the whole thing produce increased revenue through “tax reform,” then shrug when questioned about specifics that it’s “something that will have to be worked out.” Even Boehner’s “counteroffer” says that the tax loopholes and deductions will have to be worked out after the deal’s been made.
