Student loans, gun silencers and a space shuttle: See surprises found in Senate tax bill
The Senate’s version of the GOP tax bill includes several surprising provisions impacting various sectors and demographics. Wealthy Americans would benefit significantly from the tax cuts, which preserve the current top marginal rate while offering minimal relief to lower-income households. Notable inclusions are a permanent increase in the child tax credit, a cut to taxes on gun silencers, and the relocation of the Space Shuttle Discovery to Houston for $85 million. Additional funding targets include $9.995 billion for lunar and Mars missions and doubled deductions for whaling-related expenses. However, the bill restricts federal student loan limits and repayments, while also rolling back clean energy tax incentives, raising concerns about environmental impacts. A new tax on remittances is also proposed.
