DO NOT SPEND YOUR STIMULUS MONEY ! It's ALREADY spent ! While y'all have been distracted by their MSM and social media cohorts, things have been/are being done without your knowledge ! Using the virus as a distraction plastered everywhere, the great payback for political contributions has begun in earnest. The scale is unprecedented, and WILL result in permanent harm to our nation. The average American drives 13,500 mi/yr. The average auto gets 24.5 mpg. That's 551 gallons of gas. Since the day before the election, gas has risen here by $1.40, ALMOST double. That's a $771.43 increase in expenses. HALF of your stimulus money. Don't worry, though. With summer demand, facility cleaning, summer blends, and shortages in supply, I predict at LEAST another $1.50/gal. before the end of the year. Stimulus gone ! Alas, though, we're just beginning to see the train that's coming. This alone would break you even, not decimate your financial future. Or your freedom from socialism.
Currently, single truck owner/operators are required to carry $1Million dollar liability coverage. With no incidents, that's around $8,000.00/yr. With the NEW plan, it's to go to $4Million, which is expected to increase premiums by 30%, or $2,400.00/yr. Who pays that increase? Guess ! The cost of goods will be going up. The largest companies, like J.B. Hunt are self-insured, but buy reinsurance with a deductible. They won't be AS impacted. The lion's share of freight will go to UNIONIZED trucking. More members, more dues, and higher wages resulting in higher taxes and deductions for workers. The truckers lose, and the cost of goods increase, so WE lose. The Union Bosses win, who contributed to THEIR campaigns. The government wins because of higher taxes. Get it yet? The PRO ACT, already approved in the House, is trying to eliminate self employed people, forcing them to join a Union. Again, Union. Get the pattern? No middle/lower class tax hikes, just costs and fees hikes. Same thing ! YOU lose ! And you're already out of that wonderful $1400.00 !
I'm not even going to get into a minimum wage hike here/now, but we ALL know that raises can result in less take home pay due to tax brackets. Maybe that's why they stopped teaching those things in school in lieu of gender studies. Suffice to say, it's extremely easy to understand the old expression "Broke at a higher level". Soon, costs will skyrocket, and money will become digitized so new rates can be established by the " Leaders". Every dime deposited will have to be source verified, and big brother will have algorithms that put Facebook and Twitter to shame. All of this, in a nation who recognized our God-given rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in our founding documents. One need only to look at what's happening in Hong Kong right now due to the CCP, and will soon spread to Taiwan due to the MASSIVE buildup of the Chinese Navy. IF the Chinese People had arms, they'd fight back, but they don't. They were taken away after the 1948 takeover by Mao. Kind of like Chavez and Maduro did in Venezuela, which has resulted in sanctuary for tens of thousands of refugees from there from THIS administration.
Like I said, save the money. In fact, better start digging for more. Democrats LOVE taking it. Democratic Socialists demand it. If you've already spent it, that TV can be confiscated. So can that new car. Don't do what THEY do, it'll BANKRUPT you ! YOU'VE got to EARN it ! Beware !
