What are the odds that Corker sticks to this?
Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), who announced last week that he won’t seek re-election next year, told NBC News he will not vote for a tax reform package if “we’re adding one penny to the deficit.”
He added: “I am not going to be for it, OK. I’m sorry. It is the greatest threat to our nation.”
My guess is Republicans come up with some kind of creative accounting that “allows” them to say that not one penny is being added to the deficit and Corker then votes for the thing.
But maybe since he’s retiring he can show some backbone. I doubt it though.
