Well if you're dumb I'll call ya dumb.
Look, federal negotiations are usually kept quiet until a final deal is announced, but even some basic googling brings up a few examples of stuff that's in the pipeline:
Increased child tax credit
Eliminating "junk fees" at colleges
Removing the loophole that allows banks to charge overdraft fees
Requiring Medicare and Medicaid to respond to prior authorization requests within seven days
The Biden admin is constantly working towards a variety of legislative deals and policy changes that help all kinds of people.
I have and will have no children
I’ve been graduated from college for 18 years
I’ve never paid an overdraft fee in my life
I am 24 years from being Medicare eligible
I don’t think I’m that unique. Your below policies will help many, but also will not make a difference for many. Sorry I am not pleased being in a perpetual donut hole. Too poor to be comfortable, yet too “rich” to get help.
I mean, I didn't know any of that about you
Didn’t say you did.
I just want you to realize there are still a ton of us struggling, regardless of what the official numbers say. For a lot of us, or pay has not caught up with inflation, and there is no sign of it happening soon. Necessities continue to go up faster than inflation. I don’t care that TVs are cheaper, I don’t need a new tv, but I do need to eat.
It is more dangerous this November than people realize.
