Seems Pruitt had a different view of Trump back when he was advising Jeb Bush:

Watched it for 30 min and now surfing.
Typical State of the Union speech (so far at least) which is a good thing. I do think Trump is "acting more Presidential". Its relative of course, but certainly better than before ... possibly the John Kelly connection? |

Every time he gives a speech like this he comes across more presidential and carries a message of healing and coming together.
Then 6 hours and a dozen tweets later he contradicts every single thing he said. Last edited by jeff061 : 01-30-2018 at 09:26 PM. |

It's because it is scripted and he sticks to the script. It's once he has to try to be himself when things go horribly wrong.

I am not sure whey the SotU is a super big deal. I mean, after having watched so many of these it's so scripted, so canned, so meaty for whichever side is in control of the exec. You know he didn't write a lick of that speech, so what difference does it really make?

I also had a fairly large change in my check, but since we haven't adjusted W4s I don't view this money as mine. With the other changes to state tax deductions and exemptions, I believe my taxes will actually go up this year, so I will be sitting this money aside and ensuring that they actually deduct more going forward to be sure I don't pay any penalties.

It'll be interesting to see if these adjustments are accurate as presently as far as I've heard no one quite knows and it might be that they're withholding too much or too little which will affect pay next year ...

I think I'm doing something wrong here. My Federal withholding went down, but my SS taxes were way up, like more than double what my October withholding was. Guess I need to contact HR folks...

There was definitely something off in regards to this on my check. In Arizona you set your state withholding to be a percentage of your federal withholding, and despite my federal going down, the state amount stayed the same. Actually not bad for me, since I always get a nice sum back from state and breakeven on federal, but I am still going to check into it as I don't want issues next tax year. |

Prayers to the people in the truck, and I'm glad the people on the train are fine.
The GOP is in a trainwreck with a garbage truck is a bit too on the nose.

Maybe you maxed out your SS taxes in October so it wasn't a full withholding? I usually max out in May so I get a big jump in take home pay starting in June. |

A great deal of which he caused, of course. He's the poster child for increasing partisan atmosphere regarding that nothingburger of Bengazi.

On first glance mine either remained the same or was slightly higher. I used the tax estimator that Farrah recommended to look at withholding for next year. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/th...owe-2017-10-26 It estimated a yearly drop after deductions of about $1200 dollars. That's a savings of 8/10ths of a percent of my estimated 2017 income. Or the functional equivalent of a $.70/hr raise on our income for a family of 5.

I don't think the issue with the tax cut was that people wouldn't get something back. I think the issue is that it's really going to fuck over your kids.
This is the first casualty. United States Will Hit Debt Limit Sooner Than Expected Because of Tax Cuts - The New York Times It just continues a trend of boomers raiding the coffers of government at the expense of younger generations. |

I mean I live in a state that boomers destroyed. Gave themselves all sorts of goodies. Didn't bother paying into the pensions either. Now they're living the good life or moved down to Florida and the rest of us are stuck footing the bill.
My favorite is when they lecture those millennials about how lazy they are. The generation that has accomplished nothing besides giving themselves free shit at the expense of their children talking about laziness. |

I do get the “Don't really care/how weird that people think this is important“ sentiment with these sort of issues, but for the life of me just don't understand how you can protest this. There is literally no way this could impact anybody in a negative way, so why deny people perceiving it as positive change ?
“some things should never change“ is especially idiotic since a) it was only instated ad the NA in 1980 and b) it is not only a translation but in fact the english lyrics have been changed before !
