It was sold to the American public as helping us get out of recession when, in fact, its greatest impact will be realized 8 or 9 years out and it will benefit mainly the rich. From those in the know, I understand it also was poorly written.

As to the "writing" of the tax bill, perhaps you're unaware of it, but ALL tax legislation is effectively "written" by the staff of the JCT under the direction of the JCT, as people who understand the interaction of various code sections well enough to write the law.
