    What’s high income 30k a year or more? Such a joke…

    The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms, in lots of ways, George," Bessent told anchor George Stephanopoulos. “You know, it could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president’s agenda – you know, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, deductibility of auto loans.”

    Oh so no money for you

      So what this means is there will be no $2000 check. It will just be “hidden” relief that is almost impossible to actually see and verify. Cool cool cool

        Its represented by any social service he does not gut. Seriously we are running month over month deficits at historical highs. There is no dividend.

      These are all measures which reinforce some negative aspects of US economy, apart from social security taxes.
