Promises of "free" money

[UNCatTech]

That's right bitch about it but take the money! Story of MAGA 'murica they hate the Player but love the game.

What they miss here, while whining about handouts, is the benefit to the country by helping these children.

I like that Child tax credit payment stuff we had with Biden. My wife and I referred to them as Biden Bucks. I got four kids now, only had 3 then, we could rake it in!

Call it Harris Handouts. $1000 per kid per month. Haha

I know a hard working moderate income couple-these payouts saved their Ass-COVID layoffs etc

Can you honestly say that Kamala was the best choice or even your first choice?

Kamala was not my first choice, Newsom was. I think he'd be an incredible president. However, Kamala was the best choice, given that the entire democratic party got behind her.

Usually these types of answers are provided by people who are definitely responding to race or gender, but don't want to say that so they make up things like "it's not any one thing"

Well.....like with "abnormal", usually isn't the same as always.

Well Center, you're not usually this reserved...

Let us know how you really feel.

As noted on the biorhythms b’ball thread… my emotions are running high, I’m down in my back after dealing with downed trees in my yard, and I’m more of a dumbass than usual…

This is purely a matter pf human psychology. Politicians promise "free" money because it works.

We need overall tax increases - especially in the upper tax brackets (and I would add higher tax brackets). But running on tax increases is political suicide. That's the fault of the electorate, not the politicians.

....and this is why smart talking heads that sell product to "Republicans too" play that bosides bs.

So either it is a good thing, and you should be thankful, or you disagree with it, and you could easily not take the money or give it to a charitable cause.

I don't doubt it. We were lucky, as teachers we were employed and were able to save the payments.

I like it. I'd love to see $1000 per kid direct deposited each month. Imagine what it could do for low income people.

Ain't upset about it at all. I was happy to take it and save it. I think the expanded child tax credit should have stayed and I'd like to see it come back. Imagine how it could help lower income families.

We didn't need Covid money, but we took it. I look at it as pre-payment on the higher taxes we'll be paying to prevent the financial ship from sinking in the future.

Maybe YOU didn't need it. Many people did. It was means tested.

I agree. I'm fine with the government sending money to those who NEEDED it in an emergency situation.
