Inflation can’t hold 2% but fed gov can overachieve at 4x. No big deal. It’s a revenue problem, not a spending problem, right? The gov­ern­ment ran a $134 bil­lion bud­get deficit in Oc­to­ber, the Trea­sury De­part­ment said Wednesday. Fed­eral out­lays to­taled $380 bil­lion, an 8% in­crease from ...

It’s perversely incoherent to apply market principles to all social endeavors. America is just chocked full of willing dupes. Right. So let us know how much above the absolute minimum you remit to the treasury every year. And surely you should be the arbiter of which social endeavors are worth purs...

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that being happy that the federal government takes less from me than they did two years ago is approval of all things Trump. But I won’t try to convince you otherwise.

Job and General Employment Thread

My experience is going to a competitor or something directly related that 20% is a pretty reasonable starting point. Every year you spend at the same company is a year you have spent de-valuing yourself in the market. It is much cheaper to keep an employee than recruit a new one.

Investing, Stock Market and Retirement Planning Thread

401k/403b plan contributions are increased from $19,000 to $19,500 for 2020. IRA contributions remain the same. Lame.
The income limit for deductions on IRA contributions is so low that I assume it doesn’t apply to you. Just plow it into after-tax 401k once you hit $19,500. Same result.

It might be time to legalize drugs in this country. The state of drug legalization in this country is absolutely no excuse for burning six-month children to death, but your point is valid.
