    That’s great. That’s cheaper than I was getting for my truck on land! Lol. Again. Just a thought. I have a 200 gal cube because my farm tractor and my generator are diesel also.

    Yes. Limit is 150K on the new stimulus bill. Don’t know on the child tax credit.

    The price of gas is determined by the supply and demand. The oil industry is hiring people back because they need them to meet demand by increasing supply. As supply goes down and demand goes up they hire people to meet the new demand at the higher price. They aren't raising prices because they are hiring people. They are hiring because prices are going up.

    You have the relationship backwards.

    75k per person (150k) per household is the cutoff for needy vs elite. If your household makes less than 150k, you will get lots of handouts. If you make more, you will be taxed out the wazoooo

You are making excuses for an administrator that wants to eliminate the combustion engine and drive oil/ gas prices up
    You are making excuses for Russia and Saudi Arabia who cut oil production last year, as demand was low.
    Now demand has gone up, they haven’t increased production.

    But go on, keep the focus of Russian & Saudi production changes.

    All the more reason for the US to be energy independent which we were under Trump. Who gave a shit what Russia and Saudi did with their production and prices.

    Oil was exported prior to Covid. That is awesome.
    It’s a shame that no one is going to clean up the abandoned oil wells near my second cousins ranch.... Government will need to pay to fix that.... which is the price we pay for cheap oil.

    How can that be. Your AGI is after deductions/credits. How does your AGI go up

    Nope AGI is before your standard or itemized deductions


    Taxable income is a layman's term that refers to your adjusted gross income (AGI) less any itemized deductions you're entitled to claim or your standard deduction. You're not permitted to both itemize deductions and claim the standard deduction. ... The result is your taxable income.Jan 1, 202

    Tough to have your itemized deductions be higher than the standard deduction of $24,800 for a Married filing jointly couple, especially when mortgage interest rates are so low these days. It makes doing your taxes a whole lot easier taking the standard deduction.

    Eh. Donate 10% of your income + mortgage interest at the start of a loan will get you there, at least with the aa housing prices. We did refi this year, so we'll see what happens this year with lower interest.
