• Why?

    Few things but obviously the effect may vary depending on your particulars. Higher deduction limits on state and local taxes you pay, higher standard deduction limits, deduction of auto loan interest/overtime/tips.

    Again the effect will vary depending on your income and location but to a certain extent it’s probably true

    I think they're saying it's a result of the tariffs. I could be wrong, but going off the warrior dividend recently pushed out.

    You mean the money pulled from appropriated tax-free military housing benefits to pay for taxable “warrior dividends”? Do they think we are that stupid??

    It's not taxable as it was issued though BAH allowance.

    Btw you can go to finance and reject a payment if it's an issue.

  • We can use it to pay our gigantic car insurance bill.

  • Whatever happened to paying down the debt?

    What's more important, paying down the debt and not completely screwing our economy, or not being blown out in the 2026 elections?

    I think they should work for the greater good, which includes paying down the debt (is it too much to ask that it also include budget cuts? ). If they did their job and actually made things better they would win the midterms. But handing out money is just a bribe. A lazy way of winning the 2026 elections without any meaningful change.

    Meaningful change takes time, and at the rate they're going the Dems are going to win big in 2026, so bribes is their only real option, especially since conservative governance is of zero interest to anyone in DC

    Maybe they don't deserve to win. This is the least effective congress I have ever seen.

    They don't. However as close as margins are in Congress, getting anything done requires compromise, and no one in either party is interested in deal making with the other side. Things in DC are fundamentally broken.
