Music, Politics, Golf, Skiing, Beer, Whiskey, and all the great things life has to offer! I am looking for the free exchange of ideas without talking points.
@RBReich As you know. The insurance subsidies that sunset were temporarily due to Covid. Obama didn't add them in the original ACA Biden did in Covid relief bill. If he or the Democratics in Congress wanted them to be longer they would have voted on them to be longer.
@AdamKinzinger As you know it is the Dems that are fillibustering to keep government shut. As you know Blue states elected Liberals as Governors tonight. Not a big surprise. Nor is Democrats like Jones dreaming of violence to his political opponents. Dems are a sad lot.
@MattMMPLS@HHS_Jim Explain to me how it is misinformation? Yes I would like to see more details but I would think he is privy to more data than us. If it is misinformation same on him. If it is not same on you.
@thehipi@GunnelsWarren 3/3
As far as VAT being regressive. In its simplest form if everything purchased is included, it is. If you have a carve out for groceries it's less so. Another way is give a tax credit/refund based on income. As mentioned in original post you would have to file for the refund
@thehipi@GunnelsWarren 2/3 They also buy Real Estate and depreciate it. The amount they are allowed to depreciate every year offsets any income from other investments they have or wages.
They buy another business and operate it at a tax loss. They donate to charities to offset income.
@thedailybeast The cut off for nominations for the prize was January or February. Only Obama can get the prize before he had a chance to do anything. Next year he should get one.
@taradublinrocks Quick question. Why now the call to release the Epstein files? He died in 2019. That was before Biden was President. Why didn't you call for it when Biden was in office? If Trump was in the "files" don't you think Bidens DOJ would have made it public?
@Thiss_Youu@kristengough Yes politician on both sides change how they spin things based on the situation at hand. Not a good look but a worse one is calling out only one side.
@Ronxyz00 @kristengough What again does GDP have to do with investment in US?
The Answer is zero. GDP is Gross Domesic Product. It is the value of goods and services produced in the US. Investments should in the future raise GDP but other that they are unrelated.
