But why is the social security provision temporary? Was this a rules thing?

[Red Badger]

The bill doesn't eliminate taxes on Social Security, but rather introduces a temporary deduction that beneficiaries can claim to lower their federal income tax. Notably, that deduction applies to all of a senior's income — not just to Social Security benefits.

I think the no tax on tips is also temporary, I think it expires in 2028.

A couple of reasons for these provisions, get votes from RINO Republicans and to make it a campaign issue, who in 2028 is going to pledge to end no tax on tips and raise taxes on social security two taxes that overwhelmingly favor the middle and working-class voter.

Politicians are reprehensible people.
