I don't how much time they will be able to devote to "tax reform" outside of the simplistic way they have approached legislation in the past - throw together a "framework", take some previous legislation and cross out any "taxes" that were imposed for the ACA for example (don't be surprised if they take Obama's "repeal of the Bush tax cuts" to use to repeal the repeal) and then try to do all of this behind closed doors - no hearings, and throw it out there for a vote - including doing it as a rider to a must-pass appropriations bill (although that might require 60 votes in the Senate).

No, because then they will need reconciliation for the budget bill. That's why they were hoping pnwmom Jul 2017 #17
