I found it odd that no media pushed back on the Biden admin’s logic of:
“well you made over $150k MFJ so obviously you probably didn’t even know about 2020 cuz you were in your ivory tower swimming in a Scrooge McDuck pool of gold coins.”
and
“Here is a one time payment of $1,400 that will fix everything. Use it for your rent, insurance, groceries for the past 8 months and the leftover amount you should invest!” (in fact, multiple media outlets pushed this, like literally said $1,400 is enough money to pay for all your cost of living and then have leftovers to invest. Without of course mentioning it was already the recipient’s money from a future tax year.)
Nothing the Government loves more than creating a problem, saying they are fixing the problem for YOU, not actually fixing the problem and then the taxpayer ends up screwed and the government continues to spike the football and award itself medals as a hero.
