We shouldn’t be giving rebate checks to anyone. Accruing more debt to offset the financial troubles caused by the White House’s policy is insane.
unironically, sending out money to the people is a big part of what we need
Eliminating benefit cliffs, and taking the onus off applicants (the government has all our taxes!) to prevent qualified people from being cut off due to missing some paperwork box or deadline, would go a long way. Given how great our government has been at making programs that sound like they would help people, but then creating bureaucracy to ensure very few actually get help (not as a money saving thing - the bureaucracy costs a lot - but just because they believe people don’t deserve help), I have a lot of skepticism for any new program.
I’m general yes
You mean, ‘Lightning’ Josh Hawley? That man can haul ass!
Fear is a hell of a drug.
Headline misleading, it’s just spin. He means it should have a phase out for well-off people. Which is a good idea if you’re the government and just sending people checks.
Could have just as easily titled it “Josh Hawley wants to give away money to all Americans earning under $75k, calls Biden voters ‘wealthy’.”
Fuck let’s just throw Biden under the bus and support higher taxes on “Biden voters” from now on.
If $75k, is the cut off that’s going to hurt more middle class than it will the rich.
If you’re making $75k then $600 isn’t make or break.
It depends on where you are. $75k in NYC or San Francisco is basically poverty.
The person above mentioned higher votes on “Biden voters”. The comment above that one talked (which is you) about “Biden voters” being people that make $75k.
Raising taxes on people making over $75k is going to hurt the middle class more.
That wouldn’t get peoples attention now wouldn’t it
It would be nice if they changed the title though. It feels pretty cheap to get upvotes for misleading headlines
I didn’t vote for Biden. I sure as shit voted for Harris.
You didn’t vote for Biden in 2020?
In 2020 I did, sure.
$600? I thought it was $5000?
Next month: “$20? I thought it was $600!”
Y’all are getting a rebate?
I’m just paying more in tarrifs
…the people of Missouri, who are overwhelmingly not rich, vote this asshole in, instead of a marine veteran, and wonder why we call them stupid…btw US south, we don’t think you’re really stupid, but your leaders WHO YOU PUT IN POWER are…see why we think you’re stupid?..
He’s not even from here. He uses his sister’s address by the lake of the ozarks. He’s from virginia.
How do they know who voted for whom? I guess in this case it would be easy since Biden wasn’t even on the ballot…
“I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”
Odd, aren’t those mostly Republicans?
“Biden has crushed these people,” Hawley claimed, turning his ire toward the previous administration. “What a legacy for Donald Trump to say, ‘I’m gonna take a portion of this massive money’ that he’s raising on these tariffs, and return it to the people who run this country and are gonna build our future.”
Biden crushed these people, who need rebates because of Trump’s tariffs… What the fuck?
The Tax Foundation reported on Monday that Trump’s tariffs will raise the costs of food for Americans in addition to the more widely covered impact on the cost of manufactured goods.
Ah yes, Buden’s the one who crused the people!
The stupidity of these people is off the charts. Can we start air dropping educational memes and comics over the USA?
Talk about “divided, we fall”.
Hawley: i’m introducing a weird version of stop congressional stock trading!
“Lefties”: Yeah sucky Democrats! See, even this guy gets how legislation to rein in the shameful capitalist dogs should be!
Hawley: also, no money back for Biden voters!
“Lefties”: *crickets*
I don’t think anyone is naive about people like Hawley or MTG, but if they happen to be right on something once or twice, isn’t that something that should be applauded? With the current make up of Congress you need some Republican votes to pass this stock trading ban or release the Epstein files, so you need to peel those off one way or another.
Actually the policy he’s proposing in the article is okay. It’s targeting people with high incomes.
These people aren’t here to read. They are here to be trolls.
Great, here they go again with the materialism. 🙄
lol. Too true. These days I wonder who’s worse. Fascist MAGAts or virtue signaling leftists that do more talking than acting.
I know which is worse. The fascists, obviously.
Being passive is far better than actively dismantling democracy.
Being passive IS dismantling democracy one smug self righteous comment at a time.
Patiently false.
Settle down, tankie. Settle down.
Breaking news, senator Josh Hawley dead from apparent car bomb attack. This comes just days after sen. Josh publicly licked trumps taint.
Senator Josh was a huge bitch and his wife is reportedly "happy he’s dead as he had a “hella small dick” and weak “moves.”
Sigh, a guy came dream. On a side note, any of yall got an anthrax plug?
What a way to galvanize the opposition against you.
I’m cool with that, but how about only Trump voters have to pay the tariffs that are funding the rebates?
