These nations choose to join NATI. based on Putin’s actions.

 

Its magical thinking to claim a tax credit that moved someone over an artificial income line saved a kid from poverty.

 

Chose to join NATO due to Putin's attacks. Sad some are ok with this.

 

You're obviously not a tax expert.

How hard is it to understand the concept of the artificial poverty line?  
 

The 2024 federal poverty guidelines in the United States are established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and vary based on the size of the household. For the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia, the poverty guidelines are as follows:

- 1 person: $14,580
- 2 people: $19,720
- 3 people: $24,860
- 4 people: $30,000
- 5 people: $35,140
- 6 people: $40,280
- 7 people: $45,420
- 8 people: $50,560

Seems really low. Impossible to live with this kind of income in the US.

 

P.S. I'm an economist. Practiced the profession for years.

Why?

 

P.S. the president has very little control over inflation. Turn off the right wing media outlets

Joe Biden is more responsible for high inflation than for abundant jobs

 

The main effect of the president’s economic policies has been to boost prices

 

Mr Biden’s stimulus did, however, put a rocket under inflation. In April “core” consumer prices, which exclude energy and food, were 13.4% higher than when he came to office. They have risen more than in other g7 countries, and their acceleration coincided with the introduction of Mr Biden’s stimulus. Research suggests that, even by September 2022, the largesse was pushing up core inflation by about four percentage points.

Joeflation increased the cost of servicing the national debt and increased social security payouts.   Which all adds to the deficit.

You should understand Joe Biden's inflationary policies.

Pay wall. But....

 

America’s roaring labour market beat expectations again in April. The unemployment rate is lower than in any year since 1969. The share of 15- to 64-year-olds in employment has surpassed its pre-pandemic peak, which was itself the highest seen since 2007.

US inflation means families are spending $709 more per month than two years ago

Ummm....the Fed....

 

The good news is that wages are finally starting to outpace inflation and consumer price growth has eased significantly, so much so that many investors are betting the Federal Reserve is done raising interest rates.

You can not go changing your positions and and then later on say now I know better. 

Ohh wait didn't Vance say all that crap about Trump and now he says he knows him better and loves him? 

Yes... although in the context that such actions are attributed to the political theater and it happens between all members of all parties... what is unique in this situation is that Vance has garnered more experience and knowledge in the trump matter and is willing to admit his initial assessment was flawed... unlike any of the liberal left who would never admit to being in err about anything at any time.

He saved nothing.  The recovery was well on the way.  The COVID spending was already in the pipeline one.
