Trump breaks major Social Security promise in Big Beautiful Bill

​

“Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” includes tax cuts and credits but omits his campaign promise to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security. The bill, which narrowly passed the House, faces criticism for potentially increasing the federal deficit and faces challenges in the Senate due to the need for bipartisan support and concerns about the financial health of the Social Security program.

​

President Donald Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill combines several promises he made during his campaign with various tax cuts and credits. But there’s one Social Security promise that didn’t seem to make the package. 

The bill narrowly passed the House last week, and now it’s headed to the Senate. Several of Trump’s past supporters, including Elon Musk and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), have been critical of the bill, saying it will increase the federal deficit over the next decade. 

The legislation is full of promises, including increasing the deduction for state and local taxes, eliminate federal income tax on tips, eliminate subsidies on federal student loans, reduce spending on Medicaid and more. One promise that’s missing, however, is federal tax cuts on Social Security.“
