No one is getting a $2000 check or refund

[meaner gene]

What’s an inflation refund?

New York State has issued one-time inflation refund checks to eligible residents, with most checks mailed automatically through the end of November 2025. The program, part of the FY 2026 State Budget, provides up to $400 in direct financial relief.

Married Filing Joint $150,000 or less $400

The penalty was reduced to zero by the Tax Cuts and Jobs act 2017


agreed to by the Senate on December 20, 2017 (51–48)

by the House on December 19, 2017 (227–203)
and December 20, 2017 (224–201)

Thank God we ended that fascist nightmare

I never would of thought before Obama, that any govt official would want to punish Americans for not buying a product from a private company

Let’s be clear. Donald Trump promised a $2000 dividend.

That could mean two things, in both scenarios you ain’t getting no check or refund.

Scenario 1) Donald Trump actually means a check, in the sense that most people probably interpreted Trump‘s promise in social media.
Or a refund if you choose to receive the funds electronically. In this scenario, Trump lied because he does not know for sure that this money will be approved by Congress, which would require 60 votes in the Senate. And the barriers are too strong. Not passing for sure.

Scenario #2: Trump was being slick and he actually meant some bullshit life, “I meant the money from the tax cuts already passed in the big beautiful Bill”. Treasury Secretary Bessent already took care of that part by saying that this may be how people will get the money.

In this second scenario, of course you’re not getting a check or refund.

Just making sure you’re not making any plans with these free $2000.

He didn't promise it, he was kicking around the idea of doing it.

You would support his position if he was for it or against it. Because it’s a cult.

In a thread about Trump continuing Obamacare, this guy is saying, thank God Obamacare is gone,

Um that part of Obamacare

Keep up or learn how to read dembot

Why are you all so stupid?

You know it’s nearly a 20k page law once you add the regulations, don’t you?

Are you moving the goalposts, comrade....yes, yes you are.
I'm not supporting his position, but I can't blame the people who are.

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

I'm not supporting his position,

took you long enough. Thanks.

Where now you have been reduced to trying to find the parts that Trump wants to tweak instead of claiming that it’s gone? You’re making progress.

What are you talking about?
To respond to your bullshit lies?

Where do you get your motor vehicle inspected?
And is that a mandatory service you have to buy?

Do I have to buy a motor vehicle? I remember when I was in college I didn’t have one, then I moved to a big city and didn’t have one, then when to school again there and didn’t have one

I went over a decade without having one

Millions of Americans don’t have cars

Try again you little dembot

Are you trying to claim you DON'T have a car, that the government makes you buy a mandatory private service, or face escalating penalties?

What I am trying to say is that I’m not required to buy a car

Are you suggesting we should punish everyone that doesn’t have a car? Shouldn’t they be punished for not contributing to inspections? Road taxes? Gas taxes? And to subsided insurance companies? How deep is your facism gonna go?

American citizens are also not required to live in the USA.
If they go to a foreign country like around 9 million of them, they don't have to get Obamacare.

True, and not sure your point.

Do you want a country like Cuba or east Germany? Where people flee to be free?

Wait maybe you do, hence why you support policies that Cali or NY have put in place, where people have fled as well…

Let’s be clear. Donald Trump promised a $2000 dividend.

Kinda like how Bammy promised we could keep our plans and our doctors (and save $2500 a year).

Sorta like how Biden promised us we'd be free and clear of Covid by 4 July 2021, and that he would never use the pardon power to pardon his own entire criminal family.

Meantime, Trump still has THREE YEARS to deliver on his dividend and I would wager that once the time is right, he will likely do it.

Republicans mail out dividend checks for all the money they saved.

Democrats stay up late looking for ways of increasing taxes so they can spend more.
