President Biden’s people made what many are calling an appeasement concession by adding a tax deduction related measure at the last-minute to his spending bill.
A provision in the Build Back Better bill is dedicated to bumping up state and local tax deduction cap. SALT allows people to deduct certain local and state government taxes from their federal fillings.
Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said today President Biden needed to add this SALT provision in order to get lawmakers on board to approve the whole package.
