The middle 9 did not change to 10 or higher to compensate for the those in 909 did it?

How do you expect the difference to be made up?
The plan was sold on it raising a certain revenue, removing one source of that revenue leaves a shortfall which has to be made up elsewhere in the formula.
It really is simple. If 999 across the board becomes 999 and 909 then some digit in the plan has to be shifted upwards to compensate for the missing 9.
So either he puts the upshift onto only the wealthiest(which goes against the whole principle of his plan) or it goes across the remaining board. Any increase across the remaing board further hits the vast majority who are already getting hit with a tax hike.
Unless of course he has revised down his whole system and is now saying he will accept the tax plan pulling in less money than he planned to pull in.
