To understand what they are talking about, it is using state tax payments as a deductible on federal tax payments. So anyone who pays 80k or more in local and state taxes can write it off on federal taxes. To give you an idea, someone who make 80k a year IN CALIFORNIA would only spend 5k on state taxes.
The SALT deduction encourages funding of local bullshit by letting people write it off. The federal government is effectively paying for bad state policies.

The first one plays the game of conflating Feds hiring people for real jobs (e.g. Los Alamos National Laboratories) with welfare.
