Republicans are handwriting their tax bill at the last minute December 1, 2017 6:00 pm RL

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/1/16726234/handwritten-republican-tax-bill

They plan to vote on something and they have NO IDEA what is in it…

Mere hours ahead of the Senate’s tax vote, Republicans have yet to release an official copy of the tax bill. The only legislative text that has been internally circulated by Senate staff and tax lobbyists, and made public first by Bloomberg reporter Sahil Kapur, includes large swaths of policy changes in handwriting, filled between the lines and in the margins of a previous copy.

The handwritten policy changes include changes to the language around the expansion of the child tax credit and how to tax pass-through companies, like LLCs or partnerships, that are transitioning into corporations that are taxed at a different rate. The handwritten edits also cross out an entire segment of the bill giving a tax deduction for tuition payments toward some qualified religious instruction.
