Senate To Consider 'Build Back Better' After Thanksgiving Break
Newsy
Taxes, paid leave and immigration are three parts of the legislation that could be cut or significantly changed in the Senate.
The Senate is set to consider President Biden's signature "Build Back Better" legislation after the Thanksgiving break, and there are a few provisions that could be on the chopping block.
Taxes, paid leave and immigration are three areas that could be cut or significantly changed in the Senate — either by members or by the Senate parliamentarian.
On taxes, the House version of Build Back Better raises the state and local tax deduction maximum. This allows some Americans to pay less in federal taxes when they live somewhere with high local taxes, like California or New York. Critics, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, say it's a tax break for the rich.
