Here is the neat thing about stimulus checks: Those checks pushed many into a higher tax bracket, and the IRS/gov was able to recoup a substantial portion. Redistribution of wealth under the guise of some petty stimulus money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was better than it is right now and was in decent shape but needed some work in places . The stock market went to record highs after Trump took over (you will probably say that was because of Obama) & just kept going up that & the economy was going great guns before the virus took over . But the haters said the economy wasn't doing good but every where you looked there was building happening unemployment was at a low and any one i know personally that ran a business said they were doing better than they had in a long time but again the haters said the opposite & will continue because that's what they do ... I know i personally made more money in 2018 & 2019 than i ever have in my life and there was no shortage of work so i gave Trump a thumbs up for that along with the others that either owned or ran businesses did in that time period .

The reason I replied at all is that I once had a coworker who always stopped working before his taxes hit the next tax bracket because he thought the next few dollars would cause his tax rate to jump for the whole of his income. Even though I explained it to him he did not believe me. 34's point is wrong even if he was right about taxable part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Quote The Wall Street Journal reports: “A booming U.S. economy is rippling around the world, leaving global supply chains struggling to keep up and pushing up prices. The force of the American expansion is also inducing overseas companies to invest in the U.S., betting that the growth is still accelerating and will outpace other major economies.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/booming-u-s-economy-ripples-world-wide-straining-supply-chains-and-driving-up-prices-11640082604 Good news for Biden heading into new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
