Any bill that raises the deficit needs to automatically rejected.
Republicans need this to pass badly and the odds are already against it. Already they are making asses out of themselves. Instead of a "complete over haul of the tax system" they just moved some numbers around, and it's already having issues - and we are going into the holiday season. In the event they do get this passed they will declare a victory even though they've done what every administration before it has done, and if they don't pass it they will have gone an entire year without passing a major bill.
I've said this before - Trump is a business man and doesn't seem to understand how government works. In the business world it's two people who want to do business with each other. Government is completely different - it's two (plus) government parties in two different branches of government (and even his party will not always agree with him), the press, the general public, lobbying groups, and and other groups all with different goals, wants, and needs. This is what makes government so difficult - it's impossible to please everyone and you have to compromise. Trump told us he was a great negotiator but the reality is he cannot negotiate with different groups with vastly different goals, some of which do not want to do anything with the President.
From what little I've read they will keep the 401k in place, but greatly reduced the child care credit - wonderful. Right out of the gate I'm going to be paying more.
