House Tax Bill Calls for $30,000 SALT, Omits Millionaire Tax
- House Republicans proposed a tax bill that could cost at least $4.9 trillion, funded partly by cuts to programs like Medicaid, affecting millions of Americans.
- The bill aims to triple the state and local tax deduction, known as SALT, from $10,000 to $30,000, facing pushback from lawmakers in high-tax states.

- Republicans are experiencing internal disagreement over the final SALT cap, with some representatives stating that the current proposal is unacceptable and could lead to the rejection of the bill.
