Time to stop playing politics and get down to the business of acting (spending & budgeting) like a responsible country. The world's problems are not our responsibility to solve.

I really feel bad for our citizens who are in the middle class or poor. You are going to feel the brunt of inflation, deficit and joblessness.

I'm rich and I'm scared. Money is finite. I'm not a billionaire. Every single industry in this country stands to lose from one of Trump's policies, or Musk's villainy. Almost no one made it though the Great Depression unscathed.

My family has a million and a half or so in the stock market. But I don't think I'm rich. And I know all of that could be gone in a minute or two if the stock market crashes. I don't think I'm rich, and I know you guys around here don't. But I'm still quite scared.

No tax on tips.
No tax on seniors’ Social Security.
No tax on overtime pay.
Renew Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, set to expire in 2026.
Increase the deduction for state-and-local taxes, now limited at $10,000.

Oh great, you'll be taking this entire MAGA scenario to it's full potential. Good thinking, mate.

This is my thought too. If a global pandemic was but a blip in the economy (and made so many people crazy revenge spenders - that I will never understand) then I think we can survive this.

The next pandemic will be in a time of no support from the government. We won't have to wear masks though.

Yup, if we have another covid-like event it’s going to be a mess. No masks or vaccines, probably even a ban on masks and vaccines in the crazier areas. No restrictions, just everyone out as normal. A think a few million deaths would be considered winning by right wingers though.
