The SSA applauds the passing of the Big Beautiful Bill providing tax relief for Seniors.

You and all the BBB bashers were crying for the poor Seniors losing their Social Security. Now you call Seniors bloodsuckers keeping YOUR money. Which is it? You can't have it both ways.

Just pointing out where social security comes down. It’s a wealth transfer from the young to the old. They’re not keeping their money. They’re keeping my money.

Sorry if that upsets you but it’s true.

If you want to fix social security, but don’t want to cut senior’s benefits, then there’s only one solution. That’s to take more money from me and other people like me.

There was a great discussion on that in the 1980'swhen the social security taxes were increased in a huge way and the age tinkered with. A debate of having some of each person's contribution, their choice put into stock market. Claude pepper and Tip O'Neill would have none of it. The people collecting today who opened their mouths were told to stuff it back then. Many times, politicians worry about the now and not the future. You can see that with most of our social programs. When social security began, the politicians involved worried about the now of their time.

CANNOT get back in.....they have created some new complicated sign-in create account procedure. Maybe I can find it another way but I don't want to work that hard right now on a holiday! For the love of God!

The key is that you have to be legally eligible for benefits, either a citizen or non-citizens legally authorized to work (which excludes illegal aliens). It doesn't matter how the amount is calculated, and the amount is calculated the same as for citizen and non-citizens. For example if I pass, my wife (after being married the requisit number of years) will receive a higher amount based on my work history.

Only for those 65 years and older...So, not all seniors benefit, and it expires.

And not the rich Seniors either. As for expiring, the Trump tax cuts of 2017 were set to expire too until the BBB passed.

Yup. And a SMART POLITICAL MOVE

Try and CUT IT right before that election.

LMAO

It's deceitful and a gimmick to hide the actual deficit and debt to come Eagle. The estimate is $3.5 trillion added to the national debt over the 10 year period calculated they say and claim, but that is with the social security tax break, and tips tax break and the overtime tax breaks all ending in 2028, and not calculated in the rest of the 10 year budget....

but as you say, congress will be forced to extend them right before the election, when they expire...just like now with these tax cuts weighted for the wealthiest set to expire from Trumps 2018 tax cuts...they couldn't let them expire, oh my! That just puts us in so much worse of a situation with the actual budget, and our to the breaking point, debt...I Know That is Not what you really want? Is it?

Why are we extending any tax cuts when the deficit and national debt is absolutely, out of control...? Yes it has been....GWB, Obama, Trump1, Biden, and now Trump2....
I just think someone has to man up....Trump is who holds those reins right now....we can not get out of this mess through spending cuts alone....and taxing the poor and middle class indirectly more, through tariffs, while also cutting their safety nets and benefits, shifts the debt burden more on to them, while these income tax cuts benefit the wealthiest the most....that's just plain wrong imo...

Its a trillion a year interest on the debt and way less than Biden.

Your side has no room to say squat
