    OK I'm not Happy with Trump. 2,000 checks being mailed out to Americans to cover help their insurance cost.
    WTF!
    Donald have you lost your mind? Have you not been looking at the ppl you govern? They are in general irresponsible twits! Checks arrive and poof gone , big screens clothes toys restaurants. Oh look at that ,tick,tick,tick up goes inflation.
    You do not give them money without rules!. Rule one
    Bank accounts that are dedicated to medical needs , be it insurance or billed medical procedures/ deductibles
    Have these accounts tax free on intrest
    Make them have to have owner participant required. In otherwords owners have to contribute a certain realistic amount yearly

    2,000. Checks are just foolish , get on line and watch the ppl you govern to realize this.

    Oh left this out..
    When they've blown through their checks they then remain or become worse burdens on the system and responsible americans

    Like the city that passed out checks so people could buy groceries, etc. One family spent it on a luxury vacation. Hope the hotel had a breakfast buffet.

    We're still waiting for Hochul's... what I personal perceive as an election bribe, not that they actually are. ( my legal liability statement) Apparently someone in NYS are recieving them.

    Germ needs to go back to troll school. At this point, I think the only person he is trolling is himself. I actually feel sorry for him a little bit, but just a little bit.

    Well damn the dream is over, I make over 100,000, no tariff check for me.

    Btw what’s it called when you take money and redistribute it? What’s that called again?

    I know math is hard, but tariffs are projected to bring in 217 billion and giving 2000.00 to people making 100,000 and less would cost 300 billion.

    Willfully ignorant maga

    There is a provision in the bill that would prohibit hemp and hemp products including THC beverages and edibles. Also included CBD Omega 8. SOB I need that to sleep, I finally find a combination of things that allows me to have real actual sleep.

    I would prefer a gift to all US tax payers, and even those that do not pay taxes. Apply it to the national debt. I would vote for any politician whose platform was centered on reducing the debt.

    Love the national oil reserve, I have got to tour a few facilities it is fascinating. They use the finest corrosion resistant submersible pumps in the world. We pump the brine water that they pump under the crude oil to move it.

    Originally, income tax was voluntary or did I miss something along the way? One state said one could pay additional state income tax. They got a total of $300. Steve Forbes ran on a platform of a flat 10% tax. Best is a VAT or national sales tax. The more you spend, the more you pay. Simple, isn't it?

    Absolutely, national sales tax is the simplest way to make sure everyone pays something.
