    You think our taxes will go down? They’re more likely to go up because they’ll have privatized replacements and those don’t save money.

      Not to mention, last time around, the GOP weaponized tax code against blue states (putting a super low cap on state tax deductions). I expect more of the same this time - and I also don’t expect it’ll JUST be tax code stuff either.
