Deduction on state and local sales taxes

Today the United States Senate and House of Representatives debated about the Hutchinson Motion for a deduction on state and local sales taxes. The House has a 56 million, and the Senate has a 70 Million plan. I could understand such a bill being legitimate if the sales tax deduction was for products made in the U.S., but unfortunately today's politicians blantantly ignore something like this because some think it's unethical, or would be to difficult to be implemented. Since we don't have tariff's anymore, there should'nt even be sales taxes on goods produced in the U.S.
