Lol, your failure to grasp a concept doesn't mean it's incoherent. It means you don't understand it and in typical overly defensive "I don't get it" fashion you're reactively making dumb personal attacks that have nothing to do with the conversation.

Then again given your signature I think you're probably just trolling

It being stupid nonsense that you'll conveniently pretend you're too mortified explain makes it incoherent.

I don't think I could have possibly made it any clearer that you fundamentally don't understand what I'm trying to explain to you than you just did. Which isn't really a dig, most people don't get it. Which is what makes it a very useful, and possibly very damaging, political tool

Not understanding incoherent ramblings is not a dig, who would have thought.

That sucks, and is a a good advocation argument of these checks. But it doesn't magically make general consensus economic theory irrelevant.

I can acknowledge there are people in desperate need of help right now. You seem incapable of even acknowledging that that help could potentially come with long term costs and negative consequences.

Protip: you need compelling proof and critical thinking skills to warrant acknowledgement.

Did you seriously just highlight 7 words and ignore the vast majority of the rest of that? Lol

No it's not a legal tax code, which is not a good thing. It's a roundabout way to "tax" people to fund public programs in a way most people don't even understand.

Property and sales tax are state taxes, not federal.

And yes, taxation by inflation is a thing.

https://www.finweb.com/taxes/definition-of-inflation-tax.html

10 months is not long enough to know the real effects of this either. These are things that usually take years to play out, and that's without the fiasco that's covid.

As I said, I'm not saying these checks shouldn't happen. What I'm saying is there's gonna be damage of some kind regardless of what path we choose from here. But you shouldn't just boil down the fiscally conservative viewpoint down to "they just don't care about poor people." There are legitimate potential consequences to be concerned about here even if you disagree with them.

"Inflation tax is not an actual legal tax paid to a government; instead "inflation tax" refers to the penalty for holding cash at a time of high inflation. When the government prints more money or reduces interest rates, it floods the market with cash, which raises inflation in the long run. If an investor is holding securities, real estate or other assets, the effect of inflation may be negligible. If a person is holding cash, though, this cash is worth less after inflation has risen. The degree of decrease in the value of cash is termed the inflation tax for the way it punishes people who hold assets in cash, which tend to be lower- and middle-class wage earners."

Are you under the impression that inflation occurs over night?

I mean I suppose it can, but then shit is really hitting the fan. Like Argentina bad.

Look I'm not saying Congress shouldn't pass these checks, but you're delusional if you think this is free money. The government is in the business of taking in money, not handing it out. If they don't increase taxes in the years to come to pay for this giant deficit, which they won't, we'll be taxed via inflation. And inflation is maybe the most regressive way possible to tax a population. It's far worse on the lower class who own little, if any assets that will appreciate.

The $1200 was given out in April 2020 around 10 months ago.

Taxed via inflation?

Inflation is prices going up which would only increase property tax(property values would go up?) and sales tax.

The previous limits were fine. There's just one user on Gamefaqs that had a problem with it.

I didn't dislike it, but I wasn't big on the message behind Ted telling his kids the long, roundabout story of meeting their mom - it was so they knew how much Robin meant to him, and it was an indirect way of getting their blessing to try to be with her again


if one of my parents tried that with me, I'd be disappointed in them.

That seems pretty contrived. The show isn't called "Why I'm marrying your future stepmother."

Edit: It's been a while, I thought he was asking his kids if he could marry Robin not date.

If Dems had fucking cajones they'd run endless attack ads in red states calling out that states specific reps and senators for refusing to deliver aid to their constituents.

But Ofc the Democratic party plays the role of goddamned cowards so Americans, desperate for anything will try the GOP yet again

Sadly, they don't do anything like this because they are united with the Republicans.

Come on. That topic came with the implication that Biden would cede to the Republicans or squash the idea entirely. An argument based on technicalities trying to implicate larger problems that never actualize is bad faith. Antifar wasn't giving the whole picture and CE bit.

It says "Slow" in the title and Antifar mocks Biden with "Whoa, what's the rush, Jack?"
