TGHusker Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Govt to pay for your next vacation?? I think there are better ways to stimulate the economy instead of a 50% vacation tax credit. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/new-stimulus-package-could-include-4000-vacation-credit 1 Link to comment

And, I don't know a whole lot about taxes, but I believe this leaves out the poorest people since it's a tax credit. You can't get it if you don't make enough $, and we have high unemployment right now. 1 Link to comment

And as you note- you can't take advantage of it if you are low income - the very people who need the stimulus the most Link to comment

The talk I heard was for a lower amount...but it seems like it would make sense to do a bigger amount this second time and then sort of "be done" with it. Link to comment

They shouldn't be waiting and seeing, they should be listening to economists/forecasters and taking preventative measures. 1 Link to comment

I think Trump and the Gop would rather wait - doing another stimulus would be a sign of weakness of the economy. They don't want to send that message when they are hyping the opening of the economy.

RedDenver Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Yeah, in the face of massive unemployment, a tax credit is totally going to help. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Quote Interesting but... landlords are people too, and if they don't get paid that's a lot more people without apartments. 1 Link to comment
