Next year's budget

[minx]

Wow, VA is facing a significant drop in revenues due to the federal government saying no more covid aid since the emergency has passed.

Who could have seen this coming and planned for it?  Who?  Clearly not Youngkin who was only interested in paying off people via tax rebates to buy votes.

And I 100% get that there are a lot of people who are beyond grateful for that $200 and it will make a difference to them.  I want them to get that money.
But there are more people who don't need it (myself included) - that money could have been spent helping others in the state and shoring up education and Medicaid.

Saying 'Just send it back!' doesn't do anything either.  Should have been targeted to those who need it from the start.

According to USPS, my check was supposed to arrive today. I guess it’s in the mailbox. Thankfully, the carrier didn’t leave it in the driveway with the packages she dropped.

I am thankful for the rebate as it will cover the overdraft and fees from last week and get me back on track ($35 OD fees!) but I agree that it was stupid.  And most people won’t receive the checks before the election.   I already voted and I kw a lot of people have as well.

I know people won't be getting them right away, but I bet they know they're on their way.

Personally, I would forgo my check and pay $1000 if it meant I'd never have to see another political ad or flyer again! I got no less than EIGHT in the mail yesterday. And yes, they all go straight to the trash.

Is Youngkin's signature on them?

I don't know, but I'm sure if it isn't it's not for lack of trying.

I meant like when Don The Con insisted his signature be on the covid relief checks, which was the only reason the mouth breathers cashed them.

I knew what you meant - just not sure if Glenn could do the same. But if he was allowed to, he 100% would and add a note saying "This check brought to you by Glenn Youngkin for President"
