Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin suggested on Sunday that Americans will have to pay the government back for any payroll tax reduction unless President Donald Trump is reelected.
In an interview on FOX, host Chris Wallace noted that the president’s latest executive action on COVID-19 financial relief is “not a tax cut.”
“It’s a payroll tax suspension,” Wallace explained. “Isn’t there a danger that a lot of businesses won’t pass these saving through to workers because they’re going to hold on to the money because at some point, according to this executive action by the end of the year, those payroll taxes are going to be have to be paid anyway?”
"Well, the president wanted to do a payroll tax cut,” Mnuchin replied. “We could do the payroll tax deferral. He’s going to go to the American people and tell them that when he’s reelected, he will push through legislation to forgive that so, in essence, it will turn into a payroll tax cut.”
Are we really prepared for if he wins?I find it really frustrating that I have to rely on a set percentage of the American people to see through this bullshit in order to keep these idiots in charge of things for four more years.
I don't think anyone can mentally prepare for that. He would instantly become the Mad King. He is unhinged now. So with a win I don't even wanna imagine how he would be. Might say an n word or 2 election night.Are we really prepared for if he wins?
Its ironic that people get on black athletes and say its just a game, but the same people are now crying because their kids can't play sports this year? GTFO.We want to play is trending. Don't count on 2021 being better unless another country saves us with a vaccine.

If,you need college football to satisfy you then you need another hobby....
People can't tell the difference between "a need" versus "a want"...
The devastation of this pandemic will be a good thing for the country and possibly the world. Think of the lives lost as a brush fire — a small fire set to clear the dead plants in order to save the larger ecosystem.
College players are about to understand their value in a minute. Watch how many stories come out about the economic impact to cities and colleges. Now, college athletes are also starting to unify their message, which equals union.
These are student athletes. Can’t have online classes but in person football. Shits about to get real interesting.
Short answer: No, not really. No one should be prepared for that.Are we really prepared for if he wins?

I'm not a doctor I completely understand, how you feel.
The main problem is that you so many leaders not taking it seriously despite 150k+ deaths from this virus. And,those same people want to retweet or regurgitate misinformation even after it's debunked by people in the medical field.
Second,you have people that act like they know more than the people in the medical field. Shit,just amazes me. Why have doctors in the first place.
Then,you have the constitutional rights people, who act like wearing a mask and staying home violates their constitutional rights. Let me,get this straight, we're in a pandemic and people are dying but when medical experts are saying we need to wear a mask and stay home it's a huge problem.
The United States wasn't even in a full lockdown yet people were bitching and complaining about the stay-at-home orders...
And,last, this country values money over people's lives. This country could have 1 million deaths from this virus and people will still care about money than the lives of others. I've said many times, we can always build the economy back but we can bring a person back to life.
You see that shit on this board. I've seen everything from "steam" treatments to herbal supplement "cocktails" posted as preventative treatments for this shit. It is shocking until you remember Dunning Kruger
Mutations are not always positive. There's a big misconception that mutations will make a cell, virus or a living thing better. This isn't the case most of the times. Mutations can be harmful and make the virus less effective. We dont know if what kind of mutation this will be.
