If they r so sure Congress will extend them then why not make them perm and save every1 the time? If they r so sure they'll extend them why not make corp tax cuts have same expiration clause? Why not make them prove wages/jobs increasing by a certain date instead of making perm?https://twitter.com/jonathanweisman/status/934140491997773824 …

Reconciliation rules under the 1974 Budget Act. The tax cut can't raise the deficit beyond the 10-year window & must fit in the $1.5 t tax hole in the budget. Republicans decided to "pay for" only the tax cuts that Dems might end in 2027.
They had middle class tax cuts expire in 2025 to keep the 10-year cost below $1.5 t, banking that Dems will extend those.
