David Brancaccio: 特朗普总统声称新的立法将取消社会保障金的税收，但实际情况远比这复杂。我们需要深入了解其中的细节，才能真正理解这项政策的影响。 Nancy Marshall-Genzer: 新的立法确实为65岁以上的老年人提供了一项临时的额外税收减免，参议院版本是6000美元，众议院版本是4000美元。然而，这项减免并非只针对社会保障金，而是适用于老年人的所有收入。此外，这项减免会随着收入的增加而逐步减少，这意味着高收入的老年人可能无法享受到这项福利。最低收入的老年人可能已经无需缴纳社会保障金的税收，因此这项政策对他们的影响不大。这项政策的复杂性在于它对不同收入水平的老年人有不同的影响，需要仔细分析才能得出结论。 Nancy Marshall-Genzer: 虽然这项税收减免政策可能使部分老年人受益，但它也可能加速社会保障和医疗保险的破产。委员会的估计显示，这项新法案可能会使社会保障和医疗保险提前一年破产，导致所有福利全面削减约24%。这意味着，从长远来看，这项政策可能会对所有依赖社会保障金的人产生负面影响。我们需要权衡短期利益和长期风险，才能做出明智的决策。

The House is voting on a bill that President Trump claims will remove taxes on Social Security benefits. However, it introduces a temporary tax deduction for seniors, phasing out for higher earners. While most seniors might not pay taxes, this could accelerate Social Security's insolvency.
  • New temporary tax deduction for seniors over 65, ranging from $4,000 to $6,000
  • Applies to all senior income, not just Social Security benefits
  • 88% of seniors may not pay taxes on benefits if the bill passes
  • Could hasten Social Security and Medicare insolvency by a year

Shownotes Transcript

The House of Representatives could vote as soon as today on President Donald Trump’s big tax and spending bill. Trump says the legislation gets rid of taxes on Social Security benefits, but it’s not quite that simple. We'll unpack. Then, we’ll discuss this morning’s surprisingly weak private payroll data. And, we'll travel to London ahead of the city's Pride festival, which has been hit by declining corporate sponsorship.
