I was pleasantly surprised by the extra $100 in my check which equates to about $2,600 in savings. I immediately changed my W4 to take more taxes out. I have no idea what is going to happen this time next year.
My biggest concern is when this thing expires in a few years.
See how the increases were higher before obamacare? Now lets see what happens under Trumpcare-cause when you break it you own it. And Trump stated clearly that he killed obamacare. https://www.marketplace.org/2017/10/...018-50-percent
WaldoKitty, why do you make such false claims over and over and never back it up?
No it isn't. Health insurance rates have been going up for 40 years. It used to be blamed on attorneys, so there was a big GOP push for tort reform (which is hilarious with the Plaintiff-in-Chief in the WH). Now you blame it on Obama.
I predict health insurance premiums will continue to rise as sure as the sun does.
Until we have universal health care.
It will rise then also but it will be hidden in taxes.

And inflation. Its the tradeoff with a weakening dollar. imports are more expensive, and more exports occur, so they tend to push against each other.
Honestly saying if this is good or bad is far more complex then most people think, and its just nuts to try to claim it until more data is in....but...shrug here we are.
Oh look at people going on about their crumbs. Folks...some peoples pay went up...but at a cost of 10,000 in debt. Thats roughly how much the tax plan added for every working person. And only for 7 years.
So...10K in debt. Thats was the cost of your "raise"....that expires.
Just wondering, what is my share of the 9 trillion dollars your hero Odumbo added to the national debt under his watch.

You got it, it paid for the wars that Bush started and didn't put on the books, and with lower taxes. Additionally you saw it in the country pulling out of the recession.
How do people not comprehend simple stuff like this?
Notice how the deficit kept going down under Obama, and now is racing up?
BTW tell me EXACTLY what Obama did that you think added to the debt?
Spend the time you waste on CD furthering your education and/or get a second job. Start investing.
Stop expecting things to just magically improve. YOU have to go above and beyond what the crowd is doing to differentiate yourself.
The winners are winning bigly. Stocks are going UP... more than 25% since president Trump took office (not that he can take the credit).
You totally missed the point. The President said our checks would be larger starting in Feb. Well it's Feb and the OP's check is not larger. Now it may be that his/her company has not caught up, I will see mine tomorrow. But telling the OP to go to school or get a second job has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's post.
This tax season doesn't count. Let's get back after next year.
