Why not forgive military members their deferred taxes come J

Support for U.S. military service members long has been one of the few positions that unite citizens and elected officials on both sides of the political aisle. However, unless the federal government intervenes before Jan. 1, 2021, millions of active-duty service members and their families will face considerable financial difficulty repaying a tax burden they are forced to accept.
On Aug. 8, 2020,  a presidential executive order provided support for Americans navigating the COVID-19 pandemic by deferring Social Security payroll taxes for those in the workforce. While many of us had the option to opt out, the Department of Defense mandated the deferral  for all military service members whose monthly rate of basic pay was less than $8,666.66. This means the order automatically applied to lower-earning junior officers and enlisted troops, many of whom rely on their regular paycheck to support themselves and their loved ones.
