Please get Tax Reform on the docket. It's low hanging fruit but gets complicated real quick. They will probably just nibble around the edges, but at least it will be better than trying to close inversion loopholes.
Very, very slim chance anything meaningful happens. Very slim.

And the REPS will let the DEMS off the hook in 2016 if something doesn't get done. Foolish to leave this undone. From US News & World Report . . .

A survey released Monday of 800 likely voters nationwide conducted by Public Opinion Strategies shows the country is ready for change, and in ways that play to the Republicans’ strengths:
• By 86 percent to 6, respondents said the favored simplifying the tax code.
• By 74 percent to 23 they said they favored cutting federal spending.
• By 63 percent to 25, they support making new trade agreements with Europe and Asia.
• By 95 percent to 4, voters want to see both parties “work together to update the U.S. tax code and get America back working at its full potential.”
• By 93 percent to 4, “the next Congress needs to update the tax code so that it works better for today’s families and businesses.”
• And they agreed, 76 percent to 18 percent, that “Making the U.S. tax code simpler and more fair will spur economic growth and opportunity faster than any other action the government could take.”
As much as the Democrats and their allies in the echo chamber may believe GOP control of the U.S. Senate is a temporary matter, the fact is the indicators are pointing the other way.
