Well Mr. President,are you going to visit California?
I doubt California wants him.
True, but it is one of traditional “Presidential” things. Plus, he could visit his golf course in PV for “work.”
I know but he didn’t even mention the fires last time. He’s not the normal president doing normal presidential things.
Feinstein, Harris: Republican Tax Plan Cruelly Eliminates Wildfire, Natural Disaster Deduction
Nov 08 2017
Washington—Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris (both D-Calif.) today issued the following joint statement in response to the House Republican tax reform bill that eliminates the deduction for personal losses from wildfires, earthquakes and other natural disasters, while preserving them for recent hurricanes:
“After the worst fire season in California history, it’s unbelievable that Republicans are considering eliminating the tax deduction for losses suffered during a natural disaster. Asking victims of wildfires or earthquakes to suffer in order to pay for tax cuts for the rich is the height of cruelty.
“During the recent wildfires, 43 people were killed and nearly 8,900 buildings destroyed, resulting in billions of dollars in damages. Under the Republican plan, families who lose everything in a similar disaster in the future would be unable to write off those losses.
“The Republican plan also allows the victims of recent hurricanes to keep special tax breaks but doesn’t offer those same benefits to families trying to rebuild from last month’s wildfires. Our tax code shouldn’t pick winners and losers in natural disasters.
