The limitation was created as part of the 2017 Republican tax law to offset other tax cuts to firms in that legislation.Suspending the limitation will cost taxpayers about $90 billion in 2020 alone, part of a set of tax changes that will add close to $170 billion to the national deficit over the next 10 years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), the nonpartisan congressional body.The provision has fueled criticism by congressional Democrats and some tax experts who have called it a giveaway to the wealthy and real estate investors, who frequently face large losses on their investments.

In the 1980's Reagan closed down all the sanitariums(the places like mental hospitals, for non-criminals and non-violent) to save on budget and reduce deficits, blah, blah, blah, but unfortunately when other politicians(from both partys) later jacked up the same budgets and taxes and even increased spending far past the Reagan cuts, eliminating any savings from the cuts, nobody thought to replace the eliminated services for the truly needy, the ones that wouldn't be able to get an apartment or a job(or would be limited in their options) even with supervision and training in doing.The reason I get so angry at you and your comments is because your solution and perspective is constantly blaming and vilifying the competent and productive of our society.

CBO’s projection of the deficit for 2023 is now $0.4 trillion more than it was in May 2022; the projection of the cumulative deficit over the 2023–2032 period is now $3.1 trillion (or about 20 percent) more, largely because of newly enacted legislation and changes in CBO’s economic forecast, including higher projected inflation and interest rates."
