Not sure you need to spin doctor this, you just need facts as in this was the biggest self induced error by an incumbent administration leading up to midterms that I've ever seen. So bad that it almost seems on purpose to at least lose the House for Trump to target a handful of R's.

Looking at LSU's brutal schedule, not just November but October as well when you factor in injuries and the brutal parity in the SEC, would it be possible for LSU to make the playoffs with 3 losses? Granted the 2 additional losses would have to be a TD or less loss?

You're making my point for me. Why is a 17 year old being automatically enrolled by the Treasury when they don't get the US $1k, they don't get Dell's money, they don't get any kind of match. And the chance they some rich third-party donor is going to donate a chunk before that 17 yr old turns 18 is slim to none. I get voluntarily enrolling for the 17 year old, but I don't get a forced automatic enrollment for that late teen. Anyway, whatever, I'm over this thread. Y'all have at it or just wack the fricken thing.

To the OP’s point, if the kid is already 16 or 17, they aren’t going to get the starter check and there won’t be time for much return before they turn 18. Just start them out with the Roth and let it go from there. OP’s point is actually good observation. But the Trump thing isn’t really for 16 or 17 year olds to start. At 18 it’s either a standard IRA, with withdraws taxed, or it’s converted to a Roth to grow long term for tax free withdrawals. With late teen kids, the better move is just open the Roth and have them max contributions.

Well said.

Dell will give $250 for kids born between 2016 and 2024 I believe

I'll just say it. This is a vote grab. Couple this with DJT's $5k dangling carrot of R's sweeping both Houses, the guy is not even trying to hide it anymore.

Only for kids born from 2025 to 2028, no?

into Trump accounts. But only kids born from 2025 to 2028 get any kind of money automatically deposited. So why in the hell would a 16 or 17 yr old teen want this bullshite? WTF am I missing and wth is going on with this administration?

you can’t deny the balls on Trump.

When someone loses their fastball and slows down like Trump has exhibited in the last 6 months, those "balls" you speak of actually turns into a liability. Just to take 1 of a dozen examples, let's take a look at his newly appointed FOMC chairman. Instead of lowering or holding pat, Warsh was forced to do a 180 from Trump and actually raise. That should be an utter embarrassment and wake up call for conservatives that you are witnessing an old, out of touch shell of his former self. In Boxing terms, Trump got old in the ring.

SFP is one of the few posters on here that keeps y'all from sucking each other off with your tunnel vision glasses. He has proven to be correct on Trump. I was "you" 6 months ago. Now I've woken up and see the hypocrisy in Trump's bullshite. If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, do me a favor and go pass by a Shell or Chevron station.
