Diabolical? That carries a negative (Satanic) connotation. I like Solomonic much better!
It also hits back at SCOTUS...Trump can use DACA reasoning for his EO.....
Fun part is how Trump boxed the Libtards into a deal for Corona.
States can 25% of the $400 for their citizens and if they want to increase those benefits to Oh, I dont know, ($600) then the Feds will cover 75% of that.
They cant say no to $400 and maybe not $600 and litigating the whole thing is a No Va
So, they lost again and Team Trump gets to crow about it til Nov 3 and again in January when he extends it further....
I thought it was 'kewel.'
If the cuts are permanent, how do we fund the 1/2 of SocSec that comes from workers’ incomes?
Where’s the 1200 for those that have WORKED through this
Otherwise it’s a squat bomb for the banks and insurance companies.
My NPR is sh*ting themselves and concerned about fiscal spending as a bipartisan issue and actually said programs like Medicare and Social Security are in trouble. All of a sudden the left is all fiscal responsibility.
I don’t see this as “4D Chess”. This is simply an end around of the same, tired tactic of the left installing their agenda by way of inserting their demands on “must pass” legislation and therefore allowing the left to blame Republicans for actually signing this atrocity.
We’ve seen this tactic used over and over again for several decades, and since they have no new ideas and lack creativity, their action was expected. Par for the course.
Enter an administration who actually studies their opponents and has evaluated their tactics and inability to be either creative or imaginative and here we are, “we know what they’re going to do next”.
This isn’t “rocket science”. It’s not even looking ahead several moves. Not necessary when all you need to do is predict their NEXT move. It’s the application of “common sense”.
The left is simply predictable. No special skills necessary to prepare for, just observation of their historical patterns.
What if you want to pay in to Social Security?
If the payroll tax cut is seen as endangering peoples social security payments, Trump could lose millions of seniors votes
Reminds me of how McConnell helped The GOP lose the congressional elections two years ago by calling for Social Security cuts in an interview a few weeks before Election Day. Dems used his statement in their campaign ads.
Did you not get your $1200? I got mine and have worked through it all.
“If the cuts are permanent, how do we fund the 1/2 of SocSec that comes from workers incomes?”
I believe that SS comes from the general fund. There isn’t a special account. Since I don’t qualify for SS (I lived outside the US for 30 years and didn’t put anything into it) I don’t really care but it seems that is what I was told years ago.
It would be all of Social Security (and Medicare). Not only would the workers not have to pay payroll taxes, but neither would the employers.
And that’s a damn good question: how do you pay for those social programs without payroll taxes? It really is financially irresponsible. I can already see prices rising at the grocery store.
My prediction is that House Ds take the L and negotiate a deal with Trump, and probably get money for blue states for infrastructure only. It’s better for the Dems to do this, because they’re screwed no matter what.
So youd rather have me pay taxes on the wages I pay my 20+ employees? You sure your a republican ? Not my fault social security is a Bernie madoff rip off. Get another job instead of enslaving future Americans so you can steal our money for your monthly checks.
Holy Crap. Some of you on this post are worse than the democrats. Have you not been paying attention for the last 4 years?
Forget the fact that SS collects 15% of you Gross pay and gets you a 2% return. Forget the fave that if you took half that 15% and put it into a 401k, the market and your savings would explode. Forget all that
Trump has done it again. He doubled everything he want and took away, not only everything the democrats want, bul also most of what they already had. By the time the court cases are done and the tv commercials are over and the law actually gets passed, Trump gets mostly what we want.
We have only seen this like a dozen times already. Its called WINNING! Tired of it yet?
Kiss my ass, turdhead.
"The Democrat bill includes
stimulus checks for illegal aliens,
mass release of illegal aliens from detention,
mass release of inmates, including serious felons
What does this have to do with the stimulus for the economy?"
Considering how the dems oppose virtually everything Trump does or says, their heads must be about ready to explode.
They CANNOT oppose this move without completely nuking themselves.
A quick foray over to DU might prove entertaining........
