Congratulations! Your / your husband just got a new job. 80k a year salary! This is a great pay increase for your family.
Then take 20% away for taxes.
Oh… that’s 64k a year. That’s still better than we were doing.
Oh but you make too much to quality for Medicaid now…. Guess we better get some health insurance from our employer. Wait, the government has fucked up health insurance so bad, a monthly premium now costs… $1200 A MONTH?!
52k a year left. Guess we can make it work. Oh wow, no more food stamps? Well dang, our family of five probably spends about… $1,000 a month on groceries?!?! Being FRUGILE TOO?! Thanks inflation. 40k left
No more subsidized housing. Maybe we should look into buying a house! Woah… mortgage rates are 6%?!?! A house costs HOW MUCH?! Never mind. Guess we’ll just rent. $1500 a month to rent?!
We have how much left?? $18,000?! To cover EVERYTHING ELSE??? That other people get for free???? But now that we have 18,000 left we’re back under the poverty level. Why did I work hard? I should have just stayed on my benefits.
Welcome to Middle class America. It doesn’t exist anymore.
So you’re taking my money and redistributing it to incentivize other people to not work?
Rather than just cutting taxes so that the breadwinner keeps more money and the other spouse can afford to stay home or work less?
My thoughts on @JDVance’s “stay at home” program.
1. It’s socialist garbage
2. Will not make the birth rate rise (look at the failed experiment in Hungary)
3. Will continue to make the cost of living worse with all of the spending from said program
4. It’s not Christian to forcefully take money at gunpoint to redistribute among other people
5. The best way to help families situations be the mother stays at home with the kids and the father works is to lower taxes across the board and…..take an ax to federal domestic welfare spending.
Take an ax to domestic welfare spending and end these welfare programs that have only done more harm than good to the cost of living overall.
