Student loan crap

[Bob78164]

When Donny gave the billionaires their tax break, my taxes went up to help pay for them.

Nah. Dint happen

Yes, there were changes that raised taxes on the middle class:

• Cap on deduction for state and local taxes (Trump's favorite because it hit "blue states" the hardest)
• No deduction for employee business expenses
• No personal exemption (hurting taxpayers who itemize deductions)

Also, alimony/spousal support was no longer deductible if the divorce wasn’t final by the end of 2018. That specific change forced me to accelerate my divorce so that if my ex-wife and I couldn’t reach an agreement, I’d still get to deduct spousal support. I really would have preferred to wait to file until AFTER my son left for college, but thanks to Donny’s billionaires tax cut, that ceased to be a viable option. —Bob

Biden's student loan forgiveness is pure vote-pandering nothing more, as anyone with fundamental reading and comprension skills could grasp. What congress should undertake is looking at the usurious interest rates on those loans.

Sure. I agree.

Stupid stuff happens when pandering happens.

Ask our world-traveling farmer how he did during the Trump administration if you want another example.

Not to mention how the really big farming entities did; i.e., the big donors.

The standard deduction was increased quite a bit, helping those who don't itemize, usually the lower middle class. There was give and take.

Stupid stuff does indeed happen; witness our current administration.

I said I agreed.

Speaking of fundamental reading and comprehension skills ...

Can't take yes for an answer?
