    I hope I do not fall into a loophole. Both my wife & I both get Social security
    I felt forunate when my 2017 Prius was rammed & totaled by a 4Runner. I came away with no injuries and I think the 4Runner had a scratch on the bumper/ i saw glass fly from the passenger side & they saw my side curtain airbag.

    Notice it REDUCES the taxes, not ELIMINATE them as promised. Another promise broken.

    My soon to be former co-worker actually came out better that most people in a compact car would have.

    Props to Yota for side impact beams and airbags.
    I will not blame the G3's "funhouse mirrors" visibility for contributing to the accident - since it WAS a side impact.

    My Prius was totalled the day after I retired. I now have a 2025 Camry XLE. All Camry are Hybrid now.

    So I guess we should have voted for the people who NEITHER reduced nor eliminated the tax?

    Trump is a proven liar, and he's been in politics long enough that he has a Clintonian shield around him now.
    Frankly I'd rather have either one of them inside my tent pissing OUT than outside of it pissing IN.

    Agreed AND he violated his oath of office the first day by "extending: the deadline for the TikTok ban that had already taken effect. IOW he is choosing to not uphold the laws of the US which should be an impeachable offense, IMHO.

    You're not wrong about that!

    I hear that the ChiComms might have found a (*) "buyer"

    My company prohibits its use on their devices and networks and common sense prevents ME from using it.

    The average benefit is more like:
    upload_2025-7-5_10-55-13.png

    so.........
    $2000 a month x 12 months = $24,000

    Want to guess what a person earning $24,000 a year is going to pay in taxes?

    ... don't forget $185 a month or $2,200 a year is deducted from your Social Security to pay for Medicare Part B before you receive your Social Security check - then you must also pay your Part D and Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage Plan Premium which can run anywhere from $100 to $300 a month. Most of which if you itemize will also reduce you tax liability.

    For most of us Social Security tax liability depending on individual circumstances is not much of a tax liability at all - but every little bit does help

    .... maybe much ado about nothing.

    Only a broken promise if President Trump wrote the bill but he did not and it was changed many times in both the House and Senate to get enough votes to pass.

    I'm sure any tax relief for our Seniors is going to be greatly appreciated! (I'm, still, angry the Democrats talked President Reagan into starting taxing Social Security in the first place...in 1984.)

    +1.

    ......... I think some have an axe to grind and it so perverts their perspective they scream bloody murder at anything associated with him ... maybe Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.

    People saw our country was headed in a direction they didn't want and put President Trump in office.

    I like that our borders are tightening up and the criminal element of immigrants are being rounded up, that our country is taking decisive steps to try and settle the Middle East tensions and resolve Trade Imbalances.
    For Heaven's sake the University of Pennsylvania has even admitted that yes - they do know what a woman is and that a 6'1" person with a male anatomy who can grow a beard is not a woman and apologizing to the college women they put in this unfortunate situation!

    “As a former UPenn swimmer who had to compete against and share a locker room with a male athlete, I am deeply grateful to the Trump Administration for refusing to back down on protecting women and girls and restoring our rightful accolades"

    A broken campaign promise just like he promised for overtime & tips but delivered on them. Still waiting for "all hell breaking loose" on Hamas because all US hostages were not released before Inauguration day.

    People are saying other countries need to listen to Trump but they do not know if he is lying (again).

    Why no longer including that debt clock in all your posts?
