“the Inflation Reduction Act”

She likes the Wallet Reduction Act but here she is complaining
“In 20 years, the story is going to be quaint compared to what’s coming. The future is really really horrible financially.”

People are in denial about what is coming in the future. Things usually get better after a recession in the U.S. However, that is because we have government officials working to alleviate the problems and doing what is necessary to improve our financial situation.
This time is different. We have a government that is working to destroy America’s economy. We are heading for a depression and the people are not prepared for it.
He says he’d like one more stimulus check! Where does he think the inflation that’s hurting him came from??
I did that! — Joe Biden
No, I did that! — Janet Yellen
I’ve been very pleased with the legislation Congress has passed, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, because I know it will help our economy in the long run, especially lowering the cost of prescription medicine. But so far, I haven’t felt the benefits of it.
I was really grateful for the stimulus checks that the government distributed earlier in the pandemic – it would be nice if we could get one more to get us through until inflation cools. Temporarily reducing our taxes would also offer some much-needed relief. And raising the federal minimum wage would certainly help those who are lower-income and would put more money back into the economy.
Liberals, progressives, collectivists, and Dems have no idea where money comes from, and never will.
I’m hoping to work until at least 70. Then I’ll probably be in harness part-time, thanks to this screwy economy and my relatively modest savings.
Yep, and if you bought in during those flat periods, you’d be seeing huge gains when it goes up. Dollar cost average beats any attempts to time the market.

Well, this person is obviously an idiot. She complains of inflation then begs for more of it.
We’re supposed to feel sorry for her? She chose … poorly.
I retired in 2014 and have never ever had the desire to go back to work again. I arranged my financial affairs so as to be comfortable for the rest of my life. Even if Social Security goes away, I will be comfortable.
People who get their news from the fakestream media actually believe the so-called Inflation Reduction Act is going to benefit them and reduce inflation. This woman is due for some serious reality checks.
Life sucks when you’re stupid
It’s a good example of libtards chasing their tails. Just like the ones wasting money we don’t have. And then they scratch their dufus head and wonder what went wrong. Solution - more of the same crap that causes the problem to begin with

My wife is a public school teacher with a masters so she is at the top of the salary range. She has a little less than 3 more years to go to get a full pension and health insurance. She also has a 403B and if she starts collecting SS at retirement will receive in today’s dollars $2800.00/month. We have paid off our mortgage 5 years ago and have no debt so when she retires in 2025 we can live off her pension and SS and put all of my pay into savings and retirement which is what we are basically doing now.
I have a traditional IRA, a 401K with company match, a Roth 401K and we both have Roth IRAs that we contribute the max every year. I intend to wait until I’m 70 to start collecting SS in today’s dollars that is $3200.00/month.
We have spent most of our adult lives being irresponsible with our finances. About 5 years ago we grew up a bit and paid off our debt which we just finished doing. Now we put quite a bit of money aside and into our 401s which are a disaster right now. But if everything goes even semi-according to plan we will still have more funds available to us than we need.
While I’m pissed at the way the economy is being run we are not as wacked out about inflation as I see most of my co-workers. We have had a reversal in our thinking about our finances and lifestyle and so happy we did, yes we have stopped doing some things but we have eliminated a lot of money drains also.
Life sucks when you’re stupid
But being stupid is like being dead, you don’t know it, and you’re just a problem for everyone else.

The gun grabbing will make the hunting more difficult. They will control the food and we will be eating bugs.
