We'll 'see' how this works out, or doesn't ...............from Rico

 In the last major Social Security legislation of the 20th century, CONgress voted to TAX Social Security benefits in 1983. [This was extended in 1993.]

 

1983 House:

163 Democrats YES, 54 Democrats NO

80 Republicans YES, 48R NO

1983 Senate:

26 Democrats YES, 6 Democrats NO

32 Republicans YES, 8 Republicans NO

 

Fast-forward to July 2025's Big Beautiful Bill.

 

2025 House: [voting to concur with the Senate's 1 July amendment*]

217 Republicans YES, 2 Republicans NO

0 Democrats YES, 212 Democrats NO

 

*2025 Senate:

3 Republicans joined ALL Democrats to vote NO creating a 50-50 stalemate with VP Vance breaking the tie with his vote YES.

 

Now let's 'see' how this actually works out tax-wise.

 

My take away on this is:

- The Senate has three members who are in reality Democrats and NOT Republicans; ALL Democrats in both the House and Senate are cocksuckers.
