It was not a tax cut, it was a temporary decrease, most of us knew it would be increasing before we received our most recent paycheck. It should have never been decreased in the first place, but I'll leave that to a different thread.

but the good news is that people who are sucking on the government-tit (a.k.a welfare, food stamps, ssi) will see a nice increase in their income this year.......

thanks obama for all that "hope and change".........the motto should be "hope and change for people who are too fat, lazy and pathetic to go out and work for a living while people like me pay for it".........

enjoy your steak, chicken, pot roast, chips, soda, candy, pastries and juice on your EBT food-stamp card while my shopping cart is filled with spam, baloney and hot dogs......



just had to vent

edit: forgot to add "worthless" to the fat, lazy and pathetic part...

What source do you have that supports your statement that the freeloaders are getting more money? I don't believe they are giving out an increase in these programs. Do you have a source to support your statement? And you forgot to mention the parasites on Medicare and Medicaid. That is the largest waste of tax dollars in my opinion. Same with Social Security.

Um, I pay into Medicare and SS. Damn right I want something back. But as it is I'll never get back what I put into it.

We'll get it back, just in extremely inflated dollars.

It's obvious that monetizing the debt, and future entitlement obligations, is the only plan being implemented at present, or likely to be used in the future.

We'll get what we were promised in pre-inflation dollars. And, be lucky if it will buy a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk during our retirement.

Convince me I'm wrong. It would make me happy.

You're not wrong. There is no one with the political will to do anything else.
