MORNING GLORY: Trump emerges as 'closer-in-chief' to push 'one big, beautiful' tax bill through Congress

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Similar reforms for Medicare and Medicaid can be put into place that allow for gentle transitions of the sort that responsible reforms embrace.)
59% : The Greenspan Commission, officially the National Commission on Social Security Reform, was a bipartisan commission appointed by President Ronald Reagan and the leaders of the two houses in 1981 to address a short-term financing crisis facing Social Security.
55% : Hewitt has interviewed tens of thousands of guests from Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Kerry to Republican Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump over his 40 years in broadcasting.
54% : Now, Social Security, as well as Medicare and Medicaid, need reforms, not benefit cuts.
53% : First, fiscal hawks worried about the rising debt could be lured into supporting the final version of the bill by the promise of a shot at entitlement reform — not cuts — in this Congress.
52% : AS BUDGET PASSES HOUSEThe first big change is to add a process by which entitlement reform could commence, and the second is an "IRA/401k conversion window" where a flat tax would be applied to seniors who wish to convert their IRA/401k assets into Roth IRAs, a window which if opened for this tax year, would yield trillions in revenue next year and thus prevent the "one, big beautiful bill" from increasing the debt, while also being wildly popular with the demographic most likely to vote in the 2026 mid-terms.
50% : But neither did it seem likely they could make the Trump tax code permanent as well as add more cuts to taxable income for folks who depend on tips, for seniors and for homeowners in states with burdensome tax rates.
47% : That is a "reform" not a cut, one so gradual as to be unnoticed by Social Security recipients who are already working longer without a prompt from the federal government.
32% : Social Security was in much worse shape then than now.
