1300 extra in taxes a year, I easily can afford it but gently caress what the money is going to.evilweasel posted:republicans have proposed funding CHIP with cuts to medicare and to obamacare Scarry part is that CHIP is an entitlement and mandatory spending. Any expansion to Medicare needs to be fully and permanently funded with dedicated taxation. We no longer can trust future Congress to fund any entitlement.

https://twitter.com/reemadamin/status/943209972829171718 don't know how to interpret this - Yancey is the republican, but they're saying he got an additional vote but is now tied (i.e., he lost a net vote)

If you're using that calculator site remember to enter your property taxes, if applicable. It's pretty easy to miss the line because the guy didn't even bother trying to lay out the form decently. I went back to double check and after fixing my oversight my savings went from ~2600 to ~600.
