Ifferd, I just went out and asked my bird dogs what they thought about this. Without hestitation, they agreed that anyone who believes career politicians would touch the sacred cow of home mortgage deductions was delusional!
Personally, I would like to see it. It makes no sense to give huge tax breaks to folks that choose to live beyond their means, own more than one home and take out home equity loans to pay off their credit cards.
But since I don't have any mortgages, it won't affect me. Other than if it were to become law, folks who live beyond their means would have to pay the same tax rate I do.
Let's hope it happens, but it won't.
