WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats on Friday slammed a provision in the Republicans’ sweeping tax bill designed to give a special tax break to a conservative college in Michigan.

Democrats said the tax break was designed to help just one politically-connected school: Hillsdale College in southern Michigan.

‘‘I can’t find anybody else in America who benefits from this particular provision. That doesn’t strike me as right,’’ said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. ‘‘There are so many deserving schools in Oregon and Pennsylvania and elsewhere who don’t get this special treatment.’’

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said, ‘‘It feels like this is a very limited provision written for a very special person.’’

And there is some value in pointing out the small betrayals along with the big ones.
