You realize, of course, that this is nothing other than someone saying, “The aspect of the budget that I personally benefit from is good. The rest is horrible.”
I’m sure folk who can now leave $15 million to their heirs tax free think that “pretty nice.” Greedy self interest, pure and simple.
I’m not receiving SS yet, but will benefit financially from the increased standard deduction. No, I cannot think that “pretty nice” when I am aware of the context.
