President Donald Trump said he will make the payroll tax cuts permanent if he wins re-election in the November election.
23 U.S. lawmakers said in a Tuesday letter that federal employees and members of the armed forces should be allowed to opt out of the payroll tax deferral plan enacted by President Donald Trump's administration.
Lawmakers and unions that represent federal workers have said the payroll tax deferral was not well thought out."Federal workers and service members should not be used as pawns for a payroll tax scheme that many private sector employees are unlikely to join and where key questions remain unanswered," read a letter signed by the senators addressed to U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Russell T. Vought, the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
The White House described the deferral in August as a"modest, targeted action" that will"put money directly in the pockets of American workers and generate additional incentives for work and employment, right when the money is needed most."
