Will this Pass Congress . Abcs mary bruce, leading us off. Reporter a grinning President Trump today welcomed the sweeping new republican tax bill with a smooch. And a holiday promise to the american people. We are giving them a big beautiful Christmas Present in the form of a tremendous tax cut. Reporter on the hill, it looked like Christmas Morning for many House Republicans. This is the beginning of the end of this horrible tax code in america. Were all in. All together on this. Reporter the bills authors, promising relief to the middle class, say the average family making 59,000 a year could save roughly 1,200 per year. That will help you put more money away for college, help you save for retirement. It will help you save for a rainy day. Reporter the number of tax brackets drops from seven to just four. A family making up to 90,000 would pay 12 . Up to 260,000, 25 . Up to 1 million, 35 . While the wealthiest americans would still pay the same rate as they do now, 39. 6 . And the bill doubles the standard deduction, making it 24,000 for married couples. But the plan also offers some big potential breaks for the rich, including repealing the estate tax after six years. Theyre doing tax giveaways to the wealthy and the powerful and telling the middle class, take a hike, youre on your own, baby. Reporter the bill is a big win for big business, permanently slashing Corporate Taxes from 35 down to just 20 . How does lowering the Corporate Tax rate help middle class americans . 70 of all gains from corporate rate reductions go to wages. Reporter all these cuts come with a hefty price tag, costing the government roughly 1. 5 trillion over the next decade. Top republicans, including the president , had promised to reduce the deficit. Our budget deficits are massive. This country, we lose money all the time, for years and years weve had deficits. Reporter but now what were doing is, were taking out a 1. 5 trillion loan, and what were doing with that money is, were buying an appreciable asset. Reporter to pay for this, republicans are proposing to change popular tax breaks. Gone would be that student Loan Interest deduction. And the deduction for medical expenses. The mortgage Interest Deduction would be slashed in half. It would now only apply to the first 500,000 of a home loan. And tonight, some republicans from hightax states like new york, new jersey and california are sounding the alarm about plans to eliminate state and local income tax deductions. And cap deductions for property taxes at 10,000. The people im hearing from the most are Trump Supporters and these are, again, middle income people, hardworking people. They feel that theyre being betrayed. Reporter the president sounding optimistic as he heads off to asia. Ill be back in 11 days, but i know things will go well. Mary bruce live with us from the hill tonight. And mary, so far as we read through this bill, no changes to how much you can actually sock away in your 401 k .

As we were rolling through the surveillance, we did observe others with guns. Reporter police and federal agents launched a massive manhunt, but ostrem didnt go far. A tip sent officers back to his apartment today, at the very same moment, his red hatchback drives right past s. W. A. T. Teams and tv cameras. Both catching up minutes later in rush hour traffic.
