Don't know about all income brackets, but I will need to collect benefits for 10 years to recoup withholdings from my lifetime. I am currently 67. I started collecting about 6 months before full retirement age, because again, 10 years to get back forfeited benefits in terms of a higher monthly benefit.
I retired in January. Was asked to return part-time in July. We are directly related to the auto industry. On furlough this week and the week of Christmas. Our son works in a foam plant. They are on furlough next week. I don't think people will have confidence to make major purchases until Trump has had some time to work his magic.
Saw an article yesterday that Georgia had record turnout when early voting opened. What would they do with all the Harris votes? Asking for a friend. I know chaos and ignoring laws mean nothing to a leftist. But it is an issue they'd have to address.
I pointed that out to friends years ago. But you can't be a leftist and logical at the same time.
