House Republicans may balk at Senate tax bill changes

Senate Republicans passed their tax bill early Saturday, so the next step will be a conference committee with the House to iron out differences with a bill that passed  there on Nov. 16.

Some of those differences are dollar amounts, with each chamber setting brackets and deductions differently. But there are also substantive differences that could face push-back from House members, particularly conservatives, that have to be resolved before a bill could reach President Trump's desk. 

According to an internal poll of the conservative House Republican Study Committee obtained by USA TODAY, members were most concerned that the Senate bill sunsets individual tax cuts after 2025, delays the reduction in corporate rates until 2019, and continues to charge a tax on high-dollar estates.

The House could just pass the Senate bill and send it to Trump next week, but 97% of study committee members oppose that, and they're not alone.

I have no clue what the final product will be but I think we can all agree it'll be a big stinking pile of shit that will benefit only a few.
