ACA Insurance Premiums based on a percentage of Gross Pay
Student Loan IBR are based on Gross Pay
Both can reach near 10% of Gross Income
Tax avg. 15%+, 6.2% for SS and 1.45% for Medicare
Result: > 40% of salary to the Government.
Shouldn't payments be based on Net Pay?

SCOTUS is a lifetime appointment. Trump will be dead soon.
I don’t see even his appointees putting up with much more of this. Why would they willingly give up their power in the long term?

Their lawyers say they learned of the deportation plan after receiving an abrupt notice Monday evening. By Tuesday morning, the men were already on a plane.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
