Is it still too soon to call this race for Harris?

Bottom post of the previous page:

I can't get over the Left screaming that this election will determine if "Democracy Survives" but this is the party that wants to mandate:

What I drive
How I cook
How to power my home
Allowing 9-10 MM illegal aliens in this country at a cost of like ~$66 billion because "we need workers". I'll make my own fucking sandwich & do my own landscaping

Beats their chest about the Inflation Reduction Act which is simply GND when combined with infrastructure bill.

They have been working on I-485 in Charlotte since late 2019. Was supposed to be done in 2022. Just read that completion date has been pushed back yet again to 2025. And that was with at least 2 solid years of ppl driving much much less during the Covid Regime.

How about those 500k EV charging stations promised in one of those bills. They have built fucking 7.... FUCKING 7.

The billions to Ukraine? Why? Not my fucking problem. Same with Isreal and Gaza. Fucking animals have been killing one another since the dawn of man. Let them.

87K more IRS Agents? Wtf? Sorry kids, we don't need more government. We need less, a lot less.

Great diatribe, I know. Especially since the GOP will just grow the government under different bullshit programs.

If RFK Jr would move off 2A or his climate stance, he'd 100% have my vote. Shit, may get it regardless.

How's your 401k?

[PetePierson]

How's your 401k?

Most likely not at pre-pandemic levels (in terms of losses in 2021 - 2022). But definitely improved from '22.

Although, I thought we all agree that the current administration doesn't have much to do with current state of the stock market?

Both Trump & Joey needlessly pumped billions into the economy the last 4-5 years.

War is good for business on Wall Street and bitness be gouda.

Not all that needlessly as it turns out. Been a pretty good boost.

That child tax credit was a huge deal. It cut childhood poverty by 40% only to get sunset by Republicans for spite.

You're citing a 1997 law in (checks calendar) 2024?

This is how Biden appears when he's not on cocktails of drugs

PS Trump has diarrhea of the brain but atleast he doesn't look like a homeless puppy at times

I am childfree so credits and write-offs do nothing for me. I also don't subscribe to "rising tide lifts all boats" philosophies.

This is where we get frustrated with one another; you want to be governed harder and I want them all to be publicly executed.

These are some of the most morally bankrupt and ignorant people in this country. I really don't care what they think is best for me, they don't know and that is a fact. And the reason that they don't know is that this republic is no longer representative and hasn't been for probably a century.

The American Rescue Plan’s expansion of the Child Tax Credit will reduced child poverty by (1) supplementing the earnings of families receiving the tax credit, and (2) making the credit available to a significant number of new families. Specifically, the Child Tax Credit was revised in the following ways for 2021:

The credit amount was increased for 2021. The American Rescue Plan increased the amount of the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,600 for qualifying children under age 6, and $3,000 for other qualifying children under age 18.
The credit was made fully refundable. By making the Child Tax Credit fully refundable, low- income households will be entitled to receive the full credit benefit, as significantly expanded and increased by the American Rescue Plan.
The credit’s scope has been expanded. The American Rescue Plan allowed 17-year-olds to qualify for the Child Tax Credit. Previously, only children 16 and younger qualified.
Many eligible taxpayers received monthly advance payments of half of their estimated 2021 Child Tax Credit amounts during 2021 from July through December. Families caring for children were able to receive financial assistance on a consistent monthly basis from July to December 2021, instead of waiting until tax filing season to receive all of their Child Tax Credit benefits.

Yes, UBI. Make people even more dependent on the state. That is the goal.

Why do you hate America?

I very much love my country. I hate the government with a passion that I once thought was only reserved for ex-wives & mortal enemies.
