Wow 2000 bucks thats like 6 big ass flat screens
Actually, those are set in stone.
The SALT deduction will be good for a couple grand. The tax on SS will be good for a couple grand.
Easy Peasy. Looking forward to doing them this year.
No get rid of the capital gains tax and we will be all set.
I think the checks are happening. They just want to time them just right next spring close enough to the mid-terms to be remembered but not so close as to be accused of buying votes.
One can question whether this will actually happen or not.
One can question whether it would have been better spent paying down the debt.
I think one thing this is likely, though, is that it will probably help with the mid-term elections.
And if I’m retired and on SS?
No cake for you.
Correct…you and I don’t count. I’m 67, not retired and me neither
I have one kid who worked her butt off as a server this year who will get a very nice refund, due to tips.
More borrowed money.... more debt. I thought Trump was going to stop spending. Our nation’s debt is 38 1/2 Trillion and climbing rapidly.
So, we get a check and inflation increases.
There are so many who will fall through the cracks and not receive the 2K. I know I won’t. I’m sure all 401K holders will receive it.
My question, exactly!
It’ll set the economy in motion
Anyone retired and affording life did not ever see the kind of debt young people have and they’re paying social security for them
They also may not ever see social security
There’s nothing wrong with just giving it up once in a while

> More borrowed money.... more debt. <
In no particular order, the three greatest threats to the United States today:
1. Illegal aliens
2. Voter fraud
3. The federal deficit
Trump is doing great work on threat #1. But I’m not seeing much action on the other two. That worries me.
Shit show article what is the AGI Cap?
I think the sad reality is that Trump thought he could reduce spending and debt but the people were resistant. Money and stuff is like a drug to the drug addicted and when Trump announced tariffs were coming people started screaming and so it went. Trump realized that he is going to have to wean these drug addled people off their addiction to spending a little bit at a time. In the meantime.....a hit of cash to quell the withdrawals.
“So, we get a check and inflation increases.”

Inflation can’t be stopped over this BUT if you don’t want your check you can sign it over to me.
Thanks!

It would’ve been, but never would’ve happened.
Politicians look at taxpayer dollars like heroin addicts look at smack.
That and inflation is why I put the Covid kickback money into gold.
