A lot of their complaint seems to be that the individual tax cuts expire. I hate that too.

So I’m sure they will be voting to make the cuts permanent right? Right?

Every change to tax rates has an expiration date. They do it so that it's easier for them to fuck with the tax code down the line.

I haven't read the final form but from the earlier forms the expiration was linked to economic growth. If we didn't reach a certain threshold the taxes would expire. So if we do reach that threshold then they don't expire. The republicans are betting that the economy will reach and sustain that threshold so there shouldn't be a rollback on the cuts. Time will tell.
