I can't be the only one who remembers Bill Clinton and 'If we let you keep more of your money,

you might not spend it right.'  Well, here's an idiot against raising the standard deduction for the same reason:
"We're looking at the current draft plan as an assault," Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Homebuilders, told Politico. "By raising the standard deduction you put money in people's pockets, yes, but you're not encouraging them how to use the money."


What the hell?  And all those journalists and party bigshots KNEW about this, all those years, and did nothing about it?  Reported nothing?  Such wonderful people.
