Then the working tax check in April is pretty bull#### to. 150k cutoff. You are not making it universal but also not cutting of the threshold at a reasonable point in time. The lack of Taxing middle class people is hurting the ability to deliver services.
At least when Harper bought votes by canceling the children’s dependent tax rebates and sending out checks directly it was revenue neutral.
Also from an inflation standpoint this is reckless. We don’t need retail stimulation. This just burns powder from whenever we hit a recession.

Yup.
Terrible, terrible policy.
Absolutely completely trying to buy votes.
