People who live paycheck to paycheck count on these refunds. I get it that that is giving the govt. an interest free loan. I get that, but they also screwed with deductions too. My HELOC is no longer deductible. This is the exact opposite of what Trump ran on. He’s a con man.

Let’s set aside the whole interest free loan and self discipline required to save the extra money from each check that so many others are talking about and focus on this right here.

Please explain to me how people living paycheck to paycheck benefit more from a system that takes more of their money than necessary, holds on to it for 12 months and then gives it back to them in a lump sum.

When living paycheck to paycheck, having more money in each check means you are less likely to have to use credit cards to get by month to month because you are keeping more of your own hard earned money.. Best case scenario, it sets you up to be able to actually pay down debt or save that extra money so you can break the paycheck to paycheck cycle.

You are such an absolute partisan here that you can’t see the forest for the trees. Or you are simply being obtuse and trolling everyone.
