Good. Give me the $10k and let me stop throwing my money away into SS taxes. I'll get a lot more out of that lump sum than whatever paltry payout I'm scheduled to get a few decades from now.
It was a nice idea 80 years ago, and it worked for awhile, but all ponzi schemes finally hit their wall.
Of course we all know this will never actually happen. Neither party has the balls to really go after entitlement reform. The AARP has them scared shitless. -
Some state governments, including the governors of those of us dumb enough to live in CA/OR/WA, are imposing austerity right now. What the fuck are you looking at to tell you these aren’t austere measures already imposed on our Pacific Coast states’ economies?incremetal_progress said:
if the government imposes austerity it will be a decade long depression. Opening the economy alone isn't enough.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Why is it that people fall for the false binary of "stay at home" or "business as usual"?incremetal_progress said:
that won't change anything. Even if the economy is "opened" no one is gonna fly, eat out, or do anything.DuckHHunterisafag said:

nobody fucking cares about deficits anymore. voters don't. republicans don't. democrats don't. Cutting spending right now will only accelerate our march towards another great depression.PurpleThrobber said:
Uh....how you gonna pay for the entitlements otherwise?incremetal_progress said:
even discussing shit like this when unemployment is nearing 20% is Hoover-esque
More loans from the Chinese overlords? Backed by what? Their already overleveraged financial system?
Tax revenue are set to plummet. Or are you thinking maybe the US government should nationalize and confiscate property to stay liquid? Scaling back is going to have to happen everywhere.
Very Castro-esque of you.
As if a mild recession is the same thing as a decade long depression.
Democrat Governors are picking winners/losers in terms of being “essential” while every mooch in a taxpayer-funded government job is still being paid. -
Disagree bigly. I think there’s pent up demand. Things will change here and there. But people want to get back life as normally as possible. I also think people in general are not as afraid of the COVID as they were in the beginning.incremetal_progress said:

Oddly, pretty much every government construction project seems to be essential in Portland. I can’t speak for the rest of the state. Which is why I’m in Montana and Wyoming for a month.

You’ll still pay the tax, it’s just that you’ll have the $10000 credited to your accountGreenRiverGatorz said:Good. Give me the $10k and let me stop throwing my money away into SS taxes.

No one should ever believe WAPO. The article is bullshit. Just more of the same.incremetal_progress said:

I can't access the article. Can anyone tell us if it is based on anonymous sources? -
you guys are fucking nuts if you think simply saying "the economy is open!" is gonna fix everything. Truly delusional thinking.

I sure as fuck know that "the economy is closed" isn't gonna help.incremetal_progress said:you guys are fucking nuts if you think simply saying "the economy is open!" is gonna fix everything. Truly delusional thinking.

Except this post was about how stupid cutting spending is when the economy can operate at half capacity (at best), not advocating that we stay closed until the end of time.PurpleThrobber said:

This can’t go on much longer.
