How likely is either version of the Tax Bill to pass?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

I haven't been following along on this particular subject. How likely is it to pass? How can the Democrats block it, if they can? What strategy can the Republicans use to get it passed? Are there Republican factions in either house opposed to either version and can the Democrats exploit that? Which version is better (meaning least shitty), and a there any roadblocks to the reconciliation of the two bills? Sorry about all the questions but just want to know what we're up against.

Thanks.

Edited for grammar, added question marks and clarity.

3. How likely is that assuming the Democrats get the votes to repeal?

How often have "tax breaks" been repealed?

I hate to be a downer, but this just seems to be too egregious to let pass in the first place. Which version is the least destructive, by the way?

7. I'm not a historian, but

the last time major "tax breaks" were repealed was to pay for WWII.

Technically, tax breaks weren't repealed, but taxes were significantly raised.

But that was a different time, when both parties were concerned about debt and long term "deficit spending" would have been seen as detrimental to the economy.

Eventually, Reagan endorsed deficit spending.

4. This is pretty tragic. This is really fucking frustrating that an election thief ...

... working with a foreign adversary can get this thing passed simply because he hates Obama.

This is a fucking travesty, from what I heard of the bill. I thought deficits mattered to Republicans?

5. Nothing matters to republicans more than money

This is the reason trump sits in the White House. He will get more money, so will his kids.

The reason to raise deficits is to get rid of the New Deal

They will gut social programs if we don't get out and vote them out of office

The deliberate dismantling of the United States plows forward at full speed.
