This would have a very bad effect on the housing industry as homeowners count on the mortgage interest deductions. He would also eliminate exemptions for health insurance and retirement savings.

This info can be found on page A6 of today's Daily Sun.

Carson may be very likable but certainly is not Presidential material.

I hope Fiorina was being cutesy when she said she would pare down the tax codes from 70,000 pages down to 3 pages. Agree that 70,000 is ridiculous but 3 pages? Not even realistic.

Winner last night? Christy.
