The left is warning that the tax reform bill is a wolf in sheep’s clot

As the tax reform bill heads for a vote this week, the left is sounding the alarm on the legislation’s long-term effects. A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:

1. Despite Rubio's win, working Americans lose under GOP tax bill

From The Miami Herald: Rubio may have gotten his way, but any gain from the proposed bill will be modest, at best, and it will not last long.

2. Republican tax plan Is a recession waiting to happen

From Vanity Fair: If caps on deductions for mortgage interest stay in the bill, it will hurt homeowners by causing home values to fall and opening the economy up to a possible recession.

3. With tax vote, GOP places big bet for 2018

From The Washington Post: If the bill does pass, the GOP will have to show that all the vote-wrangling was worth it, and that the bill really does redeem President Donald Trump’s first year in office.
