David Brancaccio: 我认为这项立法的主要目的是为了避免2017年的减税政策到期,因为一旦到期,几乎所有人的税收都会增加。关于2017年的减税政策,存在两种截然不同的观点。一方面,有人认为所有人都从中受益,尤其是低收入群体,他们获得的减税幅度更大。另一方面,也有人指出,大部分的减税利益实际上流向了更富有的美国人。为了弥补减税带来的财政缺口,政府可能会削减SNAP和Medicaid等公共服务,尽管参议院的提案在削减力度上可能不如众议院的提案那么严厉。总的来说,这项法案对中低收入人群的食物援助和医疗保障产生了负面影响。 Adam Michel: 我认为更高收入的美国人之所以能获得更大的减税,主要是因为他们承担了大部分的所得税。许多低收入美国人原本就不需要缴纳联邦税,因此,即使降低税率或延长减税政策,他们可能也感受不到太大的变化。 Will McBride: 我认为提案中包含了一些值得关注的内容,比如免除小费和加班费的税收,新增汽车贷款利息的扣除,以及提高老年人的标准扣除额。这些条款能否最终在参议院获得通过,还有待进一步观察。 Chris Cox: 我认为即使共和党已经计划进行削减,众议院版本的这项立法预计仍将在未来十年内增加2.4万亿美元的财政赤字,而且还需要额外增加5000亿美元来支付由此产生的债务利息。这项法案对中低收入人群的食物援助和医疗保障产生了负面影响,我认为这是非常具有破坏性的。

  • Offsets through cuts in services like SNAP and Medicaid.

Shownotes Transcript

The Senate is working through the massive tax and spending bill. The House has passed its version, but the two plans still have to be reconciled. Today, we'll dig into what the legislation could mean for your own personal tax bill and the national deficit. Also on the show: Inflation remains tame despite pricier shipping rates, and booming sales of the Nintendo Switch 2 bode well for the gaming industry.
