In lor americans, through 2025, and nearly doubles the standard deduction for individuals and married couples. State and local taxes can still be written off, but are now capped at 10,000. And the bill delivers on another g. O. P. Promise, eliminating the obama care mandate penalty tax. But democratic senator Clare Mccaskill says the plan will ultimately hurt the average american household. It is really unfair how tilted it is toward the really wealthy people in this country. The bill permanently slashes the Corporate Tax rate from 35 to 21 . Mr. Trump hopes that will bring Cash Companies are keeping offshore back to the u. S. If you look at the whole thing, everybody is going to benefit. But i think the greatest benefit is going to be for jobs and for the middle class. Nearly every Congressional Republican is expected to vote in favor of the tax cut. And they are hoping arizonas john mccain and misssi sidelined with Health Issues will be back in the senate in time to vote for the bill which has no democratic support.

Volunteers in Colorado Springs took the Christmas Spirit to new heights this weekend by giving families in need a fully decorated Christmas Tree. It all started with a craigslist ad eight years ago. Free Christmas Trees for a family with children. David and michelle placed ad to figure out how to get rid of their old tree. When they received 20 responses in less than an hour, they knew they could help a lot of people. I saw ad for this Christmas Tree organization i signed up for through the kids. And is it going to help you have a better christmas . Yes, definitely. I want them to feel the experience of being cared about, and really seeing them as a person and a valuable person and not just another person who wants something for nothing. Once a family chooses their tree from the lot, one of santas elves leads them to a room filled with decorations and ornaments, so the family goes home with a fully decorated tree for christmas. So lets talk flu shots. Doctors say we can often tell if were in for a bad flu season if it was bad in australia during their flu season. And this year, australia had it pretty bad. You might have heard the vaccine wasnt all that effective for the particular flu strain that hit down under. So you might be wondering, should i even bother . Our verify team has some answers. We reached out to dr. Fred lopez. He is an expert on Infectious Disease at u a nasty strain hit. H3n2. And that same strain now surfacing here in the u. S. We dont know what is going to happen here. I mean it is possible that we may see something very similar. We know in given years when h3n2 strains predominate that we will probably have a more severe season. The doctor says that is all the more reason to get vaccinated. For one thing, your odds against getting sick improve. Since the vaccine is designed to protect against three or four different strains. On top of that, the vaccine could help you, if you do get the flu. Even if it is not a Perfect Match with what is circulating in a community in a given year, it will still provide you with some protection against the complications and severity of the illness that you might develop. So we can verify. It is a question mark on how effective this years vaccine will be. But it will help. Roll up your sleeve. Doctors urge everyone older than six months old to get a shot. The sooner the better, because it takes two weeks to build up immunity. So if you have got something you want verified, let our team of researchers get to the bottom of it. You can find us on facebook or twitter. Or you can send an email to verify at www. Wusa9. Com. Okay, so while that animation was playing, i will give you a little behind the scenes. Were you whispering at me. Ask me about christmas day. Ask me about christmas day. He wants me to ask him about christmas day. I already know why. Because we talked about this. Right. Offcamera. Nine days from now, and i will first say if you go to my facebook page, or my twitter page, i posted a few images from nine days from now. And i asked about the caveat that there is liability on a forecast, nine days from now. With that being said, we have computer models. Youre as reliable as it gets. I appreciate that. But im telling you, this will change. Right now, though, it looks to be a storm that will spread out somewhere from texas to the northeast. Whether it will be rain or icy or snow. We will know when we get closer. We just dont know. We cant know. We know there is moisture around. Everybody asks you about it. You want to know, yes. And it is still a possibility. But it is not set in stone. A three degree guarantee. Lets talk about that. Lets talk about that. Nice day today. Sunshine. Pretty niece. We got to 48. And we will call that a three degree guarantee. Im forecasting again 48 tomorrow but a different sort of day because the clouds are building off to the south and west. We have clear skies now and the winds, we will show you, we havent shown you this much before, and a little wind in the Higher Elevation of western maryland and the canadian valley. And many of the winds are dead calm across the region and with the clear skies and dry air and radiatl temperatures down in the mid 20s already, manassas, and culpepper. And Still Holding on to 37 at national and on the potomac, 40 at pax river. Right along the bay in spot, although eastton and annapolis in the lower 30s. But the 20s are out in the coldest areas right now. And i dont think we will drop off too much more. Dew points actually crept up at national. 2. Light wind. The 37 28. Light wind. So the 37 feels like 37. Clouds thicken up tomorrow. Mid to upper 40s. If youre going out to fed ex with the cardinals coming into town and believe it or not, burgundy and gold, they are not the underdogs. They are the favorites tomorrow by four points. 4448. Definitely chilly. Late shower possible. And i think we are going to be okay for the most part. If everything works out. Now the forecast highs across the country, they show some cold, with the arctic air up across areas of far northern new england, and up into quebec, but even they get slightly warme of the country. Slight moderation. The pattern is changing. We are seeing on the storm systems. Now actually coming on to the west coast. Look at that, a little upper low, with a few showers in Southern California. And then in texas, look at all of this moisture that is coming during the day. This is what i am tracking overnight, and into sunday. As clouds will come our way. But it is coming over the top of a ridge. And when that happens, it loses some of the support for the rain and you can see how the support is fizzling out in tennessee and georgia and Western North carolina. We can still see a couple of showers here. Especially north and west. As we get into the Late Afternoon and early evening hours. And then that will get out of here. And a mild start to the week. Yes, it is going to be almost comfortable. Yes, i think for december, it will be comfortable. Clear to start tonight. Becoming partly cloudy. Not as cold. 26 to 34. A few upper teens last night. Sunday morning, stwepbts and 30s. A chill 20s and 30s. A chilly start. More clouds. Maybe a late shower in a couple po afternoon. Threeday forecast, mild monday. And tuesday, pick. The week. Warm for december. Around 60. Heading toward wednesday, it will set back into the 40s. Thursday by the way winter officially begins in the morning at 11 28 and then rain next saturday, and 40.
