Home sales in the northeast have fallen 51% and construction has collapsed since Trump's tax reform passed.
This due to the "SALT" clause which restricts deductions for state and local taxes to $10K. Sales of homes nationally are down 13.2%.
This is just one of the negative results of Trump's tax break to the top 1%.
And I know the collective right has a problem recalling anything that happened more than six months ago, much less 10 years, but it was the housing collapse that started in California and spread east that created the worst recession since 1929.
Housing Is Tanking in the Northeast. Guess Why.
Losing big deductions for state and local property taxes is having the expected effect.

I'll say it again, everything Trump touches dies.

Just what the greedy States that screw their citizens deserve. Hopefully those idiots will start electing people who they won't have to lube up for. LMAO

I guess you have missed the first part of this thread.
I've already posted proof that the blue states of the northeast carry the red states in the south.
Terrible discrepancy.
I'll repeat it, just for you.

AP FACT CHECK: Blue high-tax states fund red low-tax states

At the other end, Mississippi residents paid an average of $5,740 per person, while West Virginia paid $6,349, Kentucky paid $6,626 and South Carolina paid $6,665.
Low-tax red states also fare better when you take into account federal spending.
Mississippi received $2.13 for every tax dollar the state sent to Washington in 2015, according to the Rockefeller study. West Virginia received $2.07, Kentucky got $1.90 and South Carolina got $1.71.
Meanwhile, New Jersey received 74 cents in federal spending for tax every dollar the state sent to Washington. New York received 81 cents, Connecticut received 82 cents and Massachusetts received 83 cents."""
