Removing the inane income cap on SS taxable income is such an obvious idea. Hopefully Trump can get that done.

Old saw, but maybe not very true in this case. I think he's going to get the no income tax.

I'm very hopeful about this one:

I think the money is going to come from FICA taxation on all earned income, a bump in the FRA and an elimination of benefits for some people that should never have been covered.

We can hope. This may be our last chance.

Being a lame duck might actually be a strength for Donald. He doesn’t have to be worried about reelection. Plus the unusually broad coalition gives him a mandate to make broad and sweeping changes. He can likely push through some of the reforms that everyone can ultimately see needs to be made.
