Trump hints at more tax cuts to be unveiled before November

Source: Marketwatch

President Donald Trump appears to have more tax cuts in store.

On the heels of a $1.5 trillion tax cut he signed in December, Trump said Tuesday night that his administration would be “submitting additional tax cuts sometime prior to November. It’s going to be something very special.”

Trump made his remarks in a speech to an anti-abortion group in Washington.

While the timing of new tax cuts may be intended to woo voters in November’s midterm elections, a poll last month found the tax cuts remain unpopular, with just 27% of those polled saying they were a good idea.

to think of social security and medicare to pay for this "tax cut" bullshit, after all since this sexual predator is over the age of 70 and has a kid less than eighteen year of age, he gets ..............hold on

Did you wait until later in life to have kids? Then you might want to ignore conventional wisdom and take Social Security on the early side.

You may already know that children can collect Social Security based on the earnings of a parent who is disabled or dead. But it’s also true that once you claim retirement benefits, your unmarried children are due money until their 18th birthday—even if both parents are alive and in good health. (If your children are still in high school, they can collect until they finish up or turn 19, whichever comes first; other rules apply to kids who are disabled.) The money is for your kids, but you are free to control minor children’s spending.

This extra payment for kids adds a wrinkle to claiming Social Security benefits. As a rule you get a better financial deal by delaying, since between the ages of 62 and 70 your benefits increase 7% to 8% for each year you wait. But if you claim early and collect your kids’ benefit along with your own, you can have more money in the earlier years of retirement and possibly reap more in total over your lifetime.
