Seem like some middle class tax cuts.

“Millions of workers can expect to see about $13 extra in their weekly paychecks, starting around June.”

That covers my beer. Oh wait, I make more than $100K, I’m one of those selfish wealthy people who doesn’t deserve a tax cut. Oh well, no beer for me.

Won’t help us!

We purchased a new car in October.

We put new windows in our two family last year.

We bought our first house years ago.

The only thing that could help us:

My son is 22 and attending school. We pay tuition and rent.

We just keep on paying and everyone else wants to take, take, take.

>>Seem like some middle class tax cuts.<<

Sort of. Instead of any cuts in tax rates that would have ongoing stimulative effects than could be planned on, they opted for transfer payments regardless of whether people pay taxes.

It would have been much better to actually cut tax rates and do the direct stimulus to the poor in the form of food stamps which have a high multiplier effect and greatly help farmers, also.
