12. The average benefit will be just a $670 increase in after tax income. That's it. $670.

Touting a new Council of Economic Advisers analysis, the White House said Tuesday that “88% of all seniors who receive Social Security — will pay NO TAX on their Social Security benefits,” going on to say that the Senate proposal’s $6,000 senior deduction “is estimated to benefit 33.9 million seniors, including seniors not claiming Social Security. The deduction yields an average increase in after-tax income of $670 per senior who benefits from it.”


And notice that is the average " per senior who benefits from it". Since many won't benefit at all, the average benefit to ALL seniors is almost certainly far less than $670.
