Yeah but isn’t 5he standard deduction doubled possibly for both of you? Plus, why should I be subsidizing your kids? I really don’t like it when people whine about what they PERSONALLY get from the government. That’s what Liberals do. Some will win ... Some will lose. If you lose a little, that doesn’t make it bad policy. You have no right to ask me to subsidize your kids by you getting an exemption. So there :-)
I figure for me personally, it’s all a wash in the end, what matters more to me is the impact on the economy. I’m hopeful this will spur it.
But what we really need to focus on is cutting spending, and I don’t see that being addressed. But for now, I’ll take what I can get.
