Interesting that he didn't propose to eliminate the mortgage interest deduction. That deduction is popular, but it only affects something like a third of home owners. If the standard deduction is doubled, that number will decrease by a lot from the small number it currently is. The only people who will qualify are people with million dollar mortgages. Go figure.
