The U.S. House of Representatives passed President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” early Thursday. 215 Republicans voted yes on the bill, while 2 Republicans voted no. All 212 Democrats voted no. The bill passed by a very slim margin of 215-214.

According to Yahoo News, Trump and the Republicans made good on their promise of no tax on tips, no taxes on overtime, a bigger child tax credit, and a $1,000 savings account for all newborn babies.

Trump took to his Truth Social app to celebrate the bill’s passage on Thursday.

“The Bill includes MASSIVE Tax CUTS, No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, Tax Deductions when you purchase an American Made Vehicle, along with strong Border Security measures, Pay Raises for our ICE and Border Patrol Agents, Funding for the Golden Dome, “TRUMP Savings Accounts” for newborn babies, and much more!” Trump wrote. “Great job by Speaker Mike Johnson, and the House Leadership, and thank you to every Republican who voted YES on this Historic Bill!”

Does the bill contain no tax on Social Security?

However, the bill does not contain a tax break on Social Security, according to Yahoo News.

Retired seniors will still pay taxes on Social Security despite paying taxes on income earned while they were in the work force.

Retired seniors are being unfairly double taxed but Social Security programs can’t be changed through a budget reconciliation process, according to The Hill.

However, the bill contains generous tax relief for seniors including an extra $4,000 deduction for people over 65 filing their taxes, according to CBS News.

The bill also contains $50 billion to complete the border wall and $48 billion to build new detention centers to house gangbangers and other violent criminals.

The bill now moves on to the Senate which is Republican controlled.

Even though the bill contains tax relief for millions of Americans, some people still aren’t happy.
