Social Security Administration sends misleading email lauding Trump's new tax cuts lawThe Social Security Administration has sent a misleading email to beneficiaries stating President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cuts and spending law eliminates taxes on Social Security benefits for most recipients. The Trump package does, however, include a temporary tax deduction of up to $6,000 for seniors, ages 65 and older, and $12,000 for married seniors. Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers argued last month that nearly nine in 10 seniors would not pay any federal taxes on their Social Security benefits because the new deduction would eliminate their tax burden. “Under the One Big Beautiful Bill, 51.4 million seniors — 88% of all seniors receiving Social Security income — will pay no tax on their Social Security,” the council wrote. "This email went to every Social Security subscriber and every word of it is a lie. Social Security benefits are still taxed. This big, ugly bill doesn’t change that," New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, wrote on X. "It’s disturbing to see Trump hijack a public institution to push blatant misinformation." Jeff Nesbit, a former top Social Security Administration official during the Biden administration, said the political emails were highly unusual, slamming them as "unbelievable" and "unconscionable." "I was deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Appointed by President Biden. The agency has never issued such a blatant political statement," Nesbit, who also served in the George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, posted on X. "The fact that Trump and his minion running SSA has done this is unconscionable." Social Security Administration sends misleading email lauding Trump's new tax cuts law

Professional gamblers may need to find a new profession. The final version of the big, beautiful bill that will be signed into law by President Trump on Friday contains the tax provision that limits deductions for losses to 90 percent. It has caused widespread consternation among those who make their living by gambling. And by those who make their living by getting people to gamble. Representative Dina Titus (D-Nevada), whose district includes Las Vegas, believes that the new law will nudge people away from legal gambling to illegal operations.

so they replaced durable and reliable with cheap? shame edit: are they the same inside diameter where you could trim the tubes and install the earlier bushings?

During his first term in office, President Trump oversaw a substantial increase in the national debt and budget deficits. Key Takeaways: Significant Debt Increase: The national debt rose by approximately $7.8 trillion during Trump's term, according to ProPublica. Fiscal Deterioration: The federal budget deficit increased significantly, reaching nearly 4% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018 and 4.6% in 2019, exceeding the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) initial projections. The deficit in fiscal year 2020 reached a level not seen since World War II. Contributing Factors: Tax Cuts: The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which included a reduction in the corporate tax rate, significantly reduced federal revenue. Spending Increases: The administration approved large increases in government spending, including: Pandemic relief legislation (e.g., CARES Act) Legislation raising discretionary spending caps Increased defense spending Comparison to Previous Administrations: The growth in the annual deficit under Trump was the third largest relative to the size of the economy, exceeded only by George W. Bush and Abraham Lincoln. Unlike Bush and Lincoln, who faced foreign conflicts and a civil war respectively, Trump's deficit increases occurred during a period of economic growth and low unemployment. Proposed but Unenacted Deficit Reduction: President Trump's budget proposals outlined substantial deficit reduction measures, but nearly all of these proposed savings were not enacted into law. In essence, despite campaign promises to reduce the national debt, the Trump administration oversaw a substantial increase due to tax cuts and spending increases, culminating in a significant worsening of the fiscal situation, particularly before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA), a major piece of legislation, will increase deficits by nearly $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years. This increase is a result of reduced revenues and outlays, as well as additional debt-service costs. The CBO's dynamic estimate, which considers how the bill might affect the economy, projects a slightly lower increase in deficits, but still in the trillions. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Conventional Estimate: The CBO initially estimated that the bill would increase primary deficits by $2.4 trillion over the 2025-2034 period, according to the Congressional Budget Office. This estimate includes a $3.7 trillion reduction in revenues and a $1.3 trillion reduction in outlays. Debt-Service Costs: The CBO also estimated that the bill would increase debt-service costs by $551 billion over the 10-year period, due to increased interest rates. Dynamic Estimate: When considering the economic effects of the bill, the CBO's dynamic estimate projects a $3.4 trillion increase in deficits, including interest, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This increase is driven by higher interest rates resulting from the bill, outweighing any gains from increased economic output. Debt Increase: The CBO estimates that, under the bill, debt held by the public at the end of 2034 would increase from 117.1% to 123.8% of gross domestic product. all good with this @Skidooski ?

don't forget to give Jimmy a reach around

The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, by the Continental Congress. However, the key vote to declare independence from Great Britain actually occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Continental Congress approved the Lee Resolution. This resolution, proposed by Richard Henry Lee, declared the thirteen American colonies to be free and independent states. The Declaration of Independence, drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, served as the formal explanation and justification for this declaration. I celebrate on July 2nd...

I'll be here as long as you are... probably longer by the looks of you.

knowing that it bothers several of you... also

heard from a coworker 51/39 was very busy from Wed night through last night when he headed home. we typically go up the weekend before and weekend after holiday weekends, mostly to avoid traffic. it was also hot as fuck this past week and the only a/c in the near 100yo place is the actual lake, so we're happy to be home (lol).

yup, we left last night and saw all the tards heading north which I prefer to avoid... leaving for a wedding in southern Wi tomorrow so I'll see them all again on Sunday going south. daughter is doing stuff with her friends today, we're relaxing in the AC and taking the puppy out on the boat to watch fireworks this evening.
