Why would anyone do that? Numbers are real. You're talking about people who have lost touch with reality and are unbound by our laws. Want an example?

I suspected they didn't send my tax refund last year but wasn't sure due to the multitude of covid checks they were tossing around. One check arrived in an envelope with no explanation. What was that for? My missing refund? No idea.

AND THEN...

Got a statement from them a few weeks ago saying I earned interest from them (no reason detailed). Since I never saw a check from them for that amount I can only assume it has been tacked onto whatever it was that earned that interest. The refund check perhaps? Hell if I know.

As soon as you use "government" and "believe" in the same sentence, the answer is no.

Let's just say I'm skeptical of all numbers I see from anyone anymore, especially those that have an incentive to mislead people.

In 2009, Pfizer was fined $2.3 billion dollars for bribing doctors and falsifying test results.


So, you can trust them.

Pure speculation. Death occurs when there is zero brain activity. That confirms all Biden voters are deceased.

our federal gov't is run by liars, staffed by liars, and they spend a lot of time lying to us.

but sure, go ahead and trust them implicitly.

i believe that tax day is 4/15 each year, and that they want their cut. after that, the less i'm involved with them, the happier i am.
