We'll see what the final bill is.
The political calculus is, I think, that the impacts will be felt towards the end of 2018 and in the 2019 filing season
after the 2018 election. I think theyGOP are just hoping to get 2108 to stay towards the right.
2020 has the potential to be more challenging, if the Dem's can field a candidate worth voting for. 2020 could easily see serious infighting with Trump getting primaried. That would be chaotic for 2020 house/senate seats.
Some of the changes (like taking tuition stipends for graduate students as income) just seem punitive and stupid. That one in particular, in an age where we need more tech savvy, educated citizens, lets make it harder to afford graduate school...
I'm not worried, at least I can write off my private jet costs now...
