"content": "\u003cp>The clock is winding down for thousands of immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has stopped accepting new applications for the program known as DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, that protects nearly 700,000 so-called Dreamers from deportation. Thursday is the deadline for thousands of current DACA recipients to renew their status for what could be the last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's touched off a scramble across the country. The Department of Homeland Security says more than 100,000 DACA recipients have applied to renew their temporary two-year work permits ahead of the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many have gotten help from pop-up legal clinics across the country, including a series of recent events hosted by the City University of New York. In a classroom in midtown Manhattan, lawyers from CUNY's Citizenship Now! project and volunteers from the local legal community helped DACA recipients fill out their renewal applications. After they finished the applications, representatives from a local nonprofit called the New Economy Project were waiting to cut checks covering the $495 application fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a big relief for Achraf Jellal, who first signed up for DACA in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It gave me the ability to work, go to school, drive,\" Jellal said. \"It's basically everything. Without it, I don't know what I would have done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jellal moved to New York when he was 4 with his parents, who are Moroccan. He's studying computer science at CUNY's LaGuardia Community College in Queens, where he lives. But Jellal knows that without DACA, he might have to leave the U.S. to work in his field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can definitely work back in Morocco with an American degree in computer science,\" Jellal said. \"But I've never been there. I don't know any of my family, actually.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DACA protections will begin expiring in March — unless Congress reaches an agreement to extend them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be a terribly sad thing for these people, who are making so much progress in their careers, in their lives,\" said Allan Wernick, director of CUNY Citizenship Now! project. \"So I don't see it happening, because I think that political pressure and the political support for these DACA people is going to protect them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's bipartisan support for extending protections for Dreamers. But there are some sticking points as well. One is that immigration hard-liners say any deal has to include some funding for President Trump's border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa thinks there's room for compromise on that. \"Any potential DACA agreement has to include robust border security,\" Grassley said Tuesday at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. \"And by that, I don't mean a wall.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But immigrant rights advocates, and some Democrats, want to see new protections for Dreamers without extra border spending or other conditions attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While all this plays out in Washington, Jenifer Guzman is just trying to get through college. She's a junior from Sunset Park, Brooklyn, who's studying psychology and political science at CUNY's Hunter College in Manhattan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My main goal is graduating on time,\" Guzman said, \"because education is something no one can take from me. That's my plan for now. I don't know what comes after that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Guzman does know is that her DACA benefits will expire in summer of 2019 — just a few weeks after she's scheduled to graduate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

Thursday is the deadline for thousands of current DACA recipients to renew their status for what could be the last time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's touched off a scramble across the country. The Department of Homeland Security says more than 100,000 DACA recipients have applied to renew their temporary two-year work permits ahead of the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many have gotten help from pop-up legal clinics across the country, including a series of recent events hosted by the City University of New York. In a classroom in midtown Manhattan, lawyers from CUNY's Citizenship Now! project and volunteers from the local legal community helped DACA recipients fill out their renewal applications. After they finished the applications, representatives from a local nonprofit called the New Economy Project were waiting to cut checks covering the $495 application fee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a big relief for Achraf Jellal, who first signed up for DACA in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump and congressional Republicans have pitched their tax plan as a boost for the middle class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan,” Trump \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/13/trump-rich-people-tax-plan-242671\">told reporters\u003c/a> during a meeting with lawmakers in mid-September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But analysts at the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/preliminary-analysis-unified-framework\">Tax Policy Center\u003c/a> who studied the proposal reached a very different conclusion. They predict that nearly three-quarters of the savings from the tax overhaul would go to the top 20 percent of earners — those making more than $149,000. More than half the savings would go to the top 1 percent — people who earn more than $732,800. The tax breaks are even more tilted to the wealthy by the 10th year of the overhaul, when the Tax Policy Center projects nearly 80 percent of the savings would go to the top 1 percent of earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials have tried to discredit the center’s analysis, noting the tax plan is so far just a framework with many of the details still to be filled in by Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I can tell you is that no one can make real detailed analysis of the plan yet, because it’s not finished,” White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center analysts acknowledge having to make some assumptions as they did their review. They based those assumptions on reasonable sources, including past Republican tax blueprints and the administration’s own April outline. [contextly_sidebar id=”tbMQxje1qZePfC3FUyqtynUOW4nPGvpQ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has promised to revise its forecast as lawmakers fill in the blanks of the tax plan. But the big picture is not likely to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be hard to mold this into something where the middle class is the big winner. And the reason for that, or course, is that the upper-income earners are those that pay the most in taxes,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “If you’re going to reform the tax code, a lot of times it’s going to be the people who pay the most taxes who end up with those bigger breaks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wins for middle class appear largely indirect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax benefits for the rich in the GOP plan are direct, obvious and easily quantified. Many of the promised benefits for the middle class, on the other hand, are indirect, speculative and uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the wealthy, the government is promising to cut their tax bill directly, by offering a lower-income tax rate and by doing away with targeted levies such as the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. The AMT hits only upper-income taxpayers and the estate tax hits only people with nearly $5.5 million in assets (or nearly $11 million for married couples). The Tax Policy Center says eliminating those taxes provides a direct $678 billion benefit to top earners over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many middle-class families would also benefit from a lower-income tax rate, but their savings would be dwarfed by those the wealthy enjoy. The Tax Policy Center estimates the average middle-class taxpayer would get a break of $940 from the GOP plan next year, while a taxpayer in the top 1 percent would save $146,470. For those on the lower rungs of the income ladder, the Republican plan actually boosts the tax rate from 10 to 12 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a GOP tax plan?” tweeted an incredulous Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday, noting the Tax Policy Center’s projection that nearly 30 percent of middle-class families could see their tax bills rise by decade’s end. “I hope the final details are better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is a GOP tax plan? Possibly 30% of middle class gets a tax hike? I hope the final details are better than this. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\">https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/914928161498046464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So how do the tax plan’s supporters claim that it’s focused on the middle class? By highlighting speculative, indirect gains that are supposed to result from economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a revolutionary change,” Trump said in announcing the plan in Indiana last week. “The biggest winners will be the everyday American workers as jobs start pouring into our country, as companies start competing for American labor, and as wages start going up at levels that you haven’t seen in many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., makes a similar claim. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that is all about more jobs, fairer taxes and bigger paychecks for American families,” Ryan told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than simply promise that the government will cut the tax bill for working families — many of whom pay little income tax already — the GOP is arguing that its tax plan will promote growth, which in turn will boost employment, and over time result in higher wages. Break any link of that chain and the middle-class “winnings” end up in someone else’s pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cut to corporate tax rate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A centerpiece of the GOP plan is a deep cut in the corporate tax rate, from 35 percent to 20 percent. The Tax Policy Center estimates that provision, along with repeal of the corporate AMT, would save corporations nearly $2 trillion over the next decade. Where would that money go? Traditionally, it’s been assumed that most of the savings of a corporate tax cut go to business owners or shareholders, who tend to be upper income. But some portion also goes to workers in the form of higher wages. How those spoils are divided determines the big winner when corporate taxes are reduced. [contextly_sidebar id=”RaSpIKeNoRVD0kyTMDeGfcxR5ofphrMU”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters at the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation, for example, assume that about three-quarters of the savings from a corporate tax cut goes to shareholders, while the remaining one-quarter goes to workers. Until recently, the Treasury Department assumed a similar breakdown, with owners taking the lion’s share and workers receiving about 18 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration argues that a much larger share of corporate tax cuts — 70 percent or more — will ultimately flow to workers. That’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/benefits-corporate-tax-cut/\">far from a consensus view\u003c/a>, but it’s the position advocated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/publication/a-spatial-model-of-corporate-tax-incidence/\">Kevin Hassett\u003c/a>, an economist formerly with the conservative American Enterprise Institute who now chairs Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. If Hassett is correct, that would shift more of the $2 trillion in savings from the corporate tax cut down the income ladder, from wealthy shareholders to middle-class employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standard deduction vs. personal exemptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the GOP plan say many middle- and working-class families would benefit from the near doubling of the standard deduction. That would exempt the first $12,000 of earnings for individuals and $24,000 for couples from income tax. The higher standard deduction would also free many taxpayers from having to itemize, making tax filing simpler. But while Republicans want to expand this tax break, they’re planning to take away many others, including personal and dependent exemptions, which reduce taxable income by $4,050 for each taxpayer, spouse and dependent in a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This combination could leave a couple with two children worse off. Their standard deduction would increase by $11,300 (from $12,700 to $24,000). But their four exemptions, totaling $16,200, would disappear, leaving them with more taxable income and a higher tax bill. For couples with three or more children, the situation is potentially worse. This might be offset by a larger child tax credit Republicans have promised, but that depends on details that have not yet been worked out. In addition, taxpayers who continue to itemize would lose their personal exemptions without the offsetting benefit of a larger standard deduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center estimates that boosting the standard deduction will leave an extra $830 billion in taxpayers’ pockets over the next decade, while eliminating personal and dependent exemptions will increase taxes by $1.6 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State and local tax deduction\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have promised to preserve the tax deductions for mortgage interest and charitable giving, along with unspecified tax incentives for retirement savings, work and higher education. Most other tax breaks are on the chopping block, but the only one that lawmakers and the administration have singled out for elimination is the deduction for state and local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions.’\u003ccite>Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One of those deductions is about getting the federal government out of the business of subsidizing the states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If state and local taxes were no longer deductible, the federal government would collect an extra $1.3 trillion over the next decade, according to Tax Policy Center. The move would particularly hurt taxpayers in relatively high-tax states, many of which lean Democratic. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/state-and-local-tax-deduction-primer/\">Tax Foundation\u003c/a>, more than half the total value of the deduction is claimed by taxpayers in just six states — California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the exception of Texas, all of those are blue states. But as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., points out, there are many taxpayers in GOP districts who would be unhappy to see the deduction for state and local taxes taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess is you’re going to have 30, 40, 50 Congress members — Republican — who say, ‘I can’t vote for this because it raises taxes on my core constituency,’ ” Schumer said on Sept. 27, the day the plan was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The role of economic growth \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration and congressional Republicans describe their tax plan as a key ingredient in the recipe for faster economic growth. They’re counting on that to boost federal revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth” over the next decade, Mnuchin told ABC’s “This Week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many independent observers think that’s overly optimistic, especially with the economy near full employment, an aging workforce and an administration determined to limit immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.’\u003ccite>Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen a lot of modeling of tax plans before and we’ve seen what’s happened when we’ve reformed the tax code before,” said MacGuineas. “You can grow the economy by — perhaps if it’s done well — a couple of additional tenths-of-a percent of GDP. And that would be great. We should celebrate getting that done. But we should also be realistic and we shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center says it expects the GOP plan would have “little macroeconomic feedback effect on revenues over the first decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Effect on deficits and debt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax cuts in the GOP proposal would reduce government revenues by trillions of dollars. Some of that would be offset by closing (mostly unspecified) loopholes. But the Tax Policy Center still predicts an extra $2.4 trillion in red ink over the next decade.

They predict that nearly three-quarters of the savings from the tax overhaul would go to the top 20 percent of earners — those making more than $149,000. More than half the savings would go to the top 1 percent — people who earn more than $732,800. The tax breaks are even more tilted to the wealthy by the 10th year of the overhaul, when the Tax Policy Center projects nearly 80 percent of the savings would go to the top 1 percent of earners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials have tried to discredit the center’s analysis, noting the tax plan is so far just a framework with many of the details still to be filled in by Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All I can tell you is that no one can make real detailed analysis of the plan yet, because it’s not finished,” White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center analysts acknowledge having to make some assumptions as they did their review. They based those assumptions on reasonable sources, including past Republican tax blueprints and the administration’s own April outline. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has promised to revise its forecast as lawmakers fill in the blanks of the tax plan. But the big picture is not likely to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be hard to mold this into something where the middle class is the big winner. And the reason for that, or course, is that the upper-income earners are those that pay the most in taxes,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “If you’re going to reform the tax code, a lot of times it’s going to be the people who pay the most taxes who end up with those bigger breaks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wins for middle class appear largely indirect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax benefits for the rich in the GOP plan are direct, obvious and easily quantified. Many of the promised benefits for the middle class, on the other hand, are indirect, speculative and uncertain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the wealthy, the government is promising to cut their tax bill directly, by offering a lower-income tax rate and by doing away with targeted levies such as the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax. The AMT hits only upper-income taxpayers and the estate tax hits only people with nearly $5.5 million in assets (or nearly $11 million for married couples). The Tax Policy Center says eliminating those taxes provides a direct $678 billion benefit to top earners over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many middle-class families would also benefit from a lower-income tax rate, but their savings would be dwarfed by those the wealthy enjoy. The Tax Policy Center estimates the average middle-class taxpayer would get a break of $940 from the GOP plan next year, while a taxpayer in the top 1 percent would save $146,470. For those on the lower rungs of the income ladder, the Republican plan actually boosts the tax rate from 10 to 12 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a GOP tax plan?” tweeted an incredulous Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday, noting the Tax Policy Center’s projection that nearly 30 percent of middle-class families could see their tax bills rise by decade’s end. “I hope the final details are better than this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is a GOP tax plan? Possibly 30% of middle class gets a tax hike? I hope the final details are better than this. \u003ca href=\"https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\">https://t.co/lcjkI4YRz8\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RandPaul/status/914928161498046464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2017\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So how do the tax plan’s supporters claim that it’s focused on the middle class? By highlighting speculative, indirect gains that are supposed to result from economic growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a revolutionary change,” Trump said in announcing the plan in Indiana last week. “The biggest winners will be the everyday American workers as jobs start pouring into our country, as companies start competing for American labor, and as wages start going up at levels that you haven’t seen in many years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., makes a similar claim. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that is all about more jobs, fairer taxes and bigger paychecks for American families,” Ryan told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than simply promise that the government will cut the tax bill for working families — many of whom pay little income tax already — the GOP is arguing that its tax plan will promote growth, which in turn will boost employment, and over time result in higher wages. Break any link of that chain and the middle-class “winnings” end up in someone else’s pocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cut to corporate tax rate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A centerpiece of the GOP plan is a deep cut in the corporate tax rate, from 35 percent to 20 percent. The Tax Policy Center estimates that provision, along with repeal of the corporate AMT, would save corporations nearly $2 trillion over the next decade. Where would that money go? Traditionally, it’s been assumed that most of the savings of a corporate tax cut go to business owners or shareholders, who tend to be upper income. But some portion also goes to workers in the form of higher wages. How those spoils are divided determines the big winner when corporate taxes are reduced. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters at the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation, for example, assume that about three-quarters of the savings from a corporate tax cut goes to shareholders, while the remaining one-quarter goes to workers. Until recently, the Treasury Department assumed a similar breakdown, with owners taking the lion’s share and workers receiving about 18 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration argues that a much larger share of corporate tax cuts — 70 percent or more — will ultimately flow to workers. That’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/benefits-corporate-tax-cut/\">far from a consensus view\u003c/a>, but it’s the position advocated by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/publication/a-spatial-model-of-corporate-tax-incidence/\">Kevin Hassett\u003c/a>, an economist formerly with the conservative American Enterprise Institute who now chairs Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers. If Hassett is correct, that would shift more of the $2 trillion in savings from the corporate tax cut down the income ladder, from wealthy shareholders to middle-class employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standard deduction vs. personal exemptions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of the GOP plan say many middle- and working-class families would benefit from the near doubling of the standard deduction. That would exempt the first $12,000 of earnings for individuals and $24,000 for couples from income tax. The higher standard deduction would also free many taxpayers from having to itemize, making tax filing simpler. But while Republicans want to expand this tax break, they’re planning to take away many others, including personal and dependent exemptions, which reduce taxable income by $4,050 for each taxpayer, spouse and dependent in a household.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This combination could leave a couple with two children worse off. Their standard deduction would increase by $11,300 (from $12,700 to $24,000). But their four exemptions, totaling $16,200, would disappear, leaving them with more taxable income and a higher tax bill. For couples with three or more children, the situation is potentially worse. This might be offset by a larger child tax credit Republicans have promised, but that depends on details that have not yet been worked out. In addition, taxpayers who continue to itemize would lose their personal exemptions without the offsetting benefit of a larger standard deduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center estimates that boosting the standard deduction will leave an extra $830 billion in taxpayers’ pockets over the next decade, while eliminating personal and dependent exemptions will increase taxes by $1.6 trillion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>State and local tax deduction\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have promised to preserve the tax deductions for mortgage interest and charitable giving, along with unspecified tax incentives for retirement savings, work and higher education. Most other tax breaks are on the chopping block, but the only one that lawmakers and the administration have singled out for elimination is the deduction for state and local taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions.’\u003ccite>Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“One of the things we’re trying to do is eliminate lots and lots of deductions,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “One of those deductions is about getting the federal government out of the business of subsidizing the states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If state and local taxes were no longer deductible, the federal government would collect an extra $1.3 trillion over the next decade, according to Tax Policy Center. The move would particularly hurt taxpayers in relatively high-tax states, many of which lean Democratic. According to the \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/state-and-local-tax-deduction-primer/\">Tax Foundation\u003c/a>, more than half the total value of the deduction is claimed by taxpayers in just six states — California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas and Pennsylvania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the exception of Texas, all of those are blue states. But as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., points out, there are many taxpayers in GOP districts who would be unhappy to see the deduction for state and local taxes taken away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess is you’re going to have 30, 40, 50 Congress members — Republican — who say, ‘I can’t vote for this because it raises taxes on my core constituency,’ ” Schumer said on Sept. 27, the day the plan was released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The role of economic growth \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The administration and congressional Republicans describe their tax plan as a key ingredient in the recipe for faster economic growth. They’re counting on that to boost federal revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe there will be $2 trillion of additional growth” over the next decade, Mnuchin told ABC’s “This Week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many independent observers think that’s overly optimistic, especially with the economy near full employment, an aging workforce and an administration determined to limit immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.’\u003ccite>Maya MacGuineas, President, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen a lot of modeling of tax plans before and we’ve seen what’s happened when we’ve reformed the tax code before,” said MacGuineas. “You can grow the economy by — perhaps if it’s done well — a couple of additional tenths-of-a percent of GDP. And that would be great. We should celebrate getting that done. But we should also be realistic and we shouldn’t try to pay for things with wishful thinking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tax Policy Center says it expects the GOP plan would have “little macroeconomic feedback effect on revenues over the first decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Effect on deficits and debt\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax cuts in the GOP proposal would reduce government revenues by trillions of dollars. Some of that would be offset by closing (mostly unspecified) loopholes. But the Tax Policy Center still predicts an extra $2.4 trillion in red ink over the next decade. If Republicans’ promised level of economic growth fails to materialize, all of that would be added to the federal debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That worries deficit hawks like Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. He expects to raise some revenue by eliminating tax breaks and through economic growth. But Corker told NBC’s Chuck Todd that he’s not willing to put the balance on the government’s credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it looks like to me, Chuck, we’re adding one penny to the deficit, I am not going to be for it, OK?” said Corker, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/09/26/553798939/tennessee-republican-sen-bob-corker-wont-seek-reelection-in-2018\">who is not planning to run for re-election\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And as president, she takes it upon herself to look out for new Hmong students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of Hmong freshman,” she says, “and I just want to tell them, 'Join the Hmong Club! I’m so happy you’re Hmong!' I feel like I’m the mother of all Hmong people. I love my community so much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that love came only after years of wrestling with her identity.

At least 30,000 Hmong died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the war, many Hmong ended up in the Central Valley, home to the second-largest Hmong community in the United States. Vang says that when his son was in school, this story wasn’t told.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s nothing in history books,” he says. \"So schools, when they talked about Vietnam War, the Hmong did not exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Vang and others in the community successfully advocated for California legislation that encouraged schools to teach students about the role of the Hmong in the Vietnam War. And they began pushing for Hmong language and history classes at Fresno schools, like the one Vang’s daughter, Sarah, took for the first time last year. In that class, the secret war got a lot of attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At first we were like, 'Why are we learning about this?' We didn’t understand,” Sarah says. “But once we got into depth about it, we realized Hmong people went through a lot of hardships trying to get here. That’s when I started to ask my dad, ‘So tell me a little about the war.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"G1xagEdRDJkUC617msXn4Mg8RjTmi9W1\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vang grew up in the war. As a 4-year-old, he remembers the screeching sound of rockets flying through the air, the sight of body parts strewn across the ground, and the stacks of body bags. At one point, his house was destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought my parents were dead,” he says. “I realized they were still alive after all the smoke cleared.” Vang’s father fought with the CIA and was injured more than once. He lost multiple fingers to a grenade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing these stories had a big impact on Sarah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really hit home. It made me appreciate everything the elders did,” she says. “Because of them we are here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than a decade, the work of Peter Vang and other community members is paying off: This year Sarah’s school offered a more advanced Hmong class for the first time, and last year \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnostate.edu/catalog/subjects/linguistics/hmong-mn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno State University introduced a minor in Hmong\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno Unified has something else in the works, too.

At least 30,000 Hmong died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the war, many Hmong ended up in the Central Valley, home to the second-largest Hmong community in the United States. Vang says that when his son was in school, this story wasn’t told.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s nothing in history books,” he says. \"So schools, when they talked about Vietnam War, the Hmong did not exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Vang and others in the community successfully advocated for California legislation that encouraged schools to teach students about the role of the Hmong in the Vietnam War. And they began pushing for Hmong language and history classes at Fresno schools, like the one Vang’s daughter, Sarah, took for the first time last year. In that class, the secret war got a lot of attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At first we were like, 'Why are we learning about this?' We didn’t understand,” Sarah says. “But once we got into depth about it, we realized Hmong people went through a lot of hardships trying to get here. That’s when I started to ask my dad, ‘So tell me a little about the war.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vang grew up in the war. As a 4-year-old, he remembers the screeching sound of rockets flying through the air, the sight of body parts strewn across the ground, and the stacks of body bags. At one point, his house was destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought my parents were dead,” he says. “I realized they were still alive after all the smoke cleared.” Vang’s father fought with the CIA and was injured more than once. He lost multiple fingers to a grenade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing these stories had a big impact on Sarah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It really hit home. It made me appreciate everything the elders did,” she says. “Because of them we are here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than a decade, the work of Peter Vang and other community members is paying off: This year Sarah’s school offered a more advanced Hmong class for the first time, and last year \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnostate.edu/catalog/subjects/linguistics/hmong-mn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno State University introduced a minor in Hmong\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno Unified has something else in the works, too.
