US Elections (& Politics) :)

I just listened to Speaker Mike Johnson on Newsmax. He said the bill that was just passed is only the first step. There is at least 3 more in the works. One for this Fall and 2 in the next session. It will be interesting to see what is in them. Also, he expects to be receiving "recissions" from President Trump on this bill. It will be interesting to see what the spending cuts will be with the recissions. Only a simple majority is required for a recission to pass Congress.

The big one this fall should be a bunch of separate bills.

Johnson has said no more big bullshit CR's, before the last 2, but I'll betcha thats what we see again.
It makes it so much easier to hide shit in a big comprehensive bill as opposed to single issue bills.

Post on a wrong posting, lol.

PTZ85848-HNF-PA-FL sold some before, works really great, but price is bit high, this ptz not support POE, so have to use the normal power. 36 VDC, 5 A (± 25%)​

It's a monster PTZ.

It's so big and covers so many things that there won't be any normal people who know more than a little bit about it. About a dozen flashy things were sold to the public, some outright lies, and the rest of it is probably typical political junk that gives the government more power. One thing I think is typical politics is the Trump accounts, where every kid is given some money by the government and relatives are encouraged to add to it. The money is required to be invested in the US stock market and can't be withdrawn until the kid is 18 years old. I see this as yet another scheme to prop up the stock market and make the economy look good for a bunch of years. It adds another level to the financial house of cards, and when it finally falls it will fall harder.

Yeah I got it too

It’s a charade.

It’s not specific to Social Security at all in any way, it applies to your total income.

Almost 70% of SS folks pay no tax NOW. This will increase that to 80 some % simply because the extra std deduction from your total income.

If you live on SS alone , you’re probably not paying tax on it NOW. That won’t change .

If you have SS as well as investments or retirement income, you won’t see much if anything at all, possibly up to $450 savings for the year

Dollars to doughnuts President Trump forwarded the wording to Frank and suggested an immediate mass email to recipients or there would be a new commissioner come Saturday morning, July 5, 2025. :lmao:
