Re: “,” Nov. 17 news story.
Rep. Ken Buck’s vote in favor of the GOP tax plan, which would add $1.5 trillion to the national debt, is the pinnacle of hypocrisy. On March 28, 2015, he wrote in the Greeley Tribune: “I came to Congress to advance real solutions that address what I consider the biggest threat to America: our $18.1 trillion debt. … I refuse to defer the pain to our children and grandchildren.”
Sen. Cory Gardner has stated: “Our … debt crisis threatens the very future of this country … .” Now it remains to be seen whether Gardner is true to his word or equally two-faced.

Your article on the Senate tax bill says that “people living in high-tax states, who deduct their local property, income and sales taxes from what they owe Uncle Sam, could lose out from the complete or partial repeal of deductions … .”
My question is why are we in favor of effectively lowering the federal income tax for such folks in the first place?
