    Did someone say Republicans do small government? 🙄😳😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
    Who hired 80,000 new IRS agents last year?

    Maybe Trump in his spare time of killing the border bill in between his 6 rounds of golf each day?
    Biden, from the party of law and order, hired 80k irs employees. 

    ‘But more than half of the agency’s current employees are eligible for retirement and are expected to leave the agency within the next five years. The IRS will be able to net 20,000 to 30,000 more employees from the new funding.

    In 2022, among the IRS’ workforce of 79,000 employees, 10,000 are actually agents. Within that, 8,000 are revenue agents who audit tax filings and 2,000 investigate potential tax crimes.

    The IRS announced Thursday it collected $1 billion in back taxes from wealthy tax cheats, through the Biden administration’s tax package signed in 2022.’

    Awesome! Great work! That billion will cover 5% of the $20 billion they sent Israel yesterday to blow up and kill more of Gaza! 
    Like you care either way. Which other bothers you more?

    Hey don’t do that.  Just don’t do that.  You’re passionate and compassionate which is more valuable than anything.  Don’t ever say stuff like that about yourself ever again.  
    Thanks! I’ll keep this advice in mind

    Yeah she'll be in front of the press soon enough. Unlike tRump they are putting together some tax policy that should be interesting. $25K downpayment assistance for first time homebuyers is fucking huge. $6K child credit for newborns, etc. Yes...it needs to pass Congress but if things go well that won't be a problem.

    And look at tRumpy boy...since he stopped campaigning (either because he owes places money that won't book him again or because he doesn't want anyone to compare his crowds to Harris' ((most likely)) he does these fucked up "press conferences" that are about an hour of him bloviating, insulting the military, talking about fruit loops prices while he stands in front of his golf club, etc., and doing the exact opposite of what anyone in his campaign wants him to do.

    Things are going very well for the anti-tRump crowd right now and it's about to get worse for him. 

    It's beautiful to watch.

    Giving away more $....

    Honestly, there is not enough in that article to know if these are good ideas or bad ideas.  Or even just nice ideas but how they are paid for are bad ideas or good ideas.

    I dislike the idea of giving $25,000 to people to buy homes....but prove to me it's good and works out in the end for more than just people taking $.

    I'm not really a fan of child tax credits at all, but can be convinced of it if shown the why behind the decision, and most seem for it, so might be some ignorance on my part.  

    The "price-gouging" item is either the best or worst idea.  Government manipulating the market so directly is a touchy place to be.

    $25K for first-time homebuyers. Yes, this will raise the overall housing market but it would help many many people realize the American dream. It's also supposed to be coupled with policies intended to encourage new home construction.

    The "price gouging" stuff does float pretty close to socialism, I have to say.

    Most people would use the newborn tax credit just to pay the damn hospital bill.

    As much as tRump and the GOP are complaining about inflation you would sure think they would jump on board. The GOP house has proposed NO legislation to fix inflation. Why?

    They want to blame Biden for inflation but not give him the power to cap prices by profitable corporations? Why?

    The american dream = $25K handouts to buy a house?   I know what you are saying re:buying a house...I do think incentivizing builders to build more "starter" homes...if done properly sounds like a good idea.  I am not certain we should be giving anyone $ to buy a house...I fear if they will maintain and will be able to keep it long term anyhow.  But having an inventory of housing at a lower price point is needed.  As well as managing the AirBnBs etc.

    I think part of the child credit is to assist with being off work/child care, etc. There is a child care credit but it's a joke. People pay thousands for child care and get to use only $3,000 toward a credit that maxes out at $600.

    Details on the $25K will be interesting. Previously it was more of a loan where the first time homebuyer would pay it back at $500/year. Then they did away with the payback part (those purchasing when the payback was required still had to pay) after a certain year....it's been several years.

    But when that downpayment assistance is available it allows lenders to close loans that wouldn't normally be closed.

    So basically you prefer tax cuts for corporations and billionaires instead of helping regular folks.  I just don’t understand the republican ideals.  Limited socialism isn’t evil. Yes I said it

    Is this part of it? That is absolutely something that should be happening--agreed
    It mentioned it in the article....again, no specifics.
    That is something that should have been put into place a long time ago.

    It's so so so much harder to buy a starter home than it used to be. I'm in favor of leveling the playing field a bit.

    Looks like they are calling it "Down payment support" which suggests something like the loan I discussed above where it is paid back each year on the borrowers tax return.

    As much as tRump and the GOP are complaining about inflation you would sure think they would jump on board. The GOP house has proposed NO legislation to fix inflation. Why?

    They want to blame Biden for inflation but not give him the power to cap prices by profitable corporations? Why?
    These are great questions.

    The answer, of course, always leads back to this

    Kamala……. “Puttin’ a Cap in your Groceries!”

    😂😂😂😂😂 Those evil grocers been getting away with it so long. 

    Took her a month to come up with that? Maybe she could answer questions why Apple has a 21% margin, but it’s ok. And grocers have a 1.6% margin and they are enemy #1.

    Tell me the good and bad about her policies! Maybe don’t use the word banning? These seem good on the surface but I’m sure it’s not all gravies. 
    Giving away more $....

    Honestly, there is not enough in that article to know if these are good ideas or bad ideas.  Or even just nice ideas but how they are paid for are bad ideas or good ideas.

    I dislike the idea of giving $25,000 to people to buy homes....but prove to me it's good and works out in the end for more than just people taking $.

    I'm not really a fan of child tax credits at all, but can be convinced of it if shown the why behind the decision, and most seem for it, so might be some ignorance on my part.  

    The "price-gouging" item is either the best or worst idea.  Government manipulating the market so directly is a touchy place to be.  
    So basically you prefer tax cuts for corporations and billionaires instead of helping regular folks.  I just don’t understand the republican ideals.  Limited socialism isn’t evil. Yes I said it 
    Oh look another liberal overreaction in AMT...Shocking!!!
    hippiemom = goodness
