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.
Neither did Obama state any of the savings his plan conatins, save only to say they “would be negotiated next year” which is Washingtonese for “Monday come never in a wheelbarrow”.
