The data are still limited, which makes crafting policy difficult. A national data set established by the FBI in 2019, for example, contains data from only about 40% of US law-enforcement officers. Data submission by officers and agencies is voluntary, which many researchers see as part of the problem.
Did you actually read FrohnB's post? Did you fail to read the 2019 or did you just ignore it?Yah, I'm the one who needs to "keep up".
As clearly stated, these are lifetime statistics, not yearly as you are referencing.
At least you attempt to defend your stance, not just copy and paste someone elses verbal diarrehea.
It's not about cook outs - beer -pool openings, DO NOT wish anyone Happy Memorial Day... because for a lot of us it's NOT a happy day!
Joe Biden is a dirty lying dog.
Fact Check: WhCLAIM: White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed Americans were “paying about the same for gas” under President Joe Biden as they were during former President Donald Trump’s administration in 2018 and 2019. The White House also claimed Americans are “paying less in real terms for gas than they have on average over the last 15 years.”
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. A look at the data shows the White House is struggling with the numbers, using inflationary clarifiers such as “less in real terms” to fudge the numbersite House Falsely Claims Americans Paying Less for Gas than Average During Last 15 Years
if ANY of Trump's press people had tried a lie like that they would have been burned at the stake!
but as always the liberal lying scumbag bitch gets away with "circling back" bullshit.
GAS PRICES ARE AT LEAST A DOLLAR HIGHER!

Biden has promised not to raise taxes on people earning less than $400,000. Here’s what he might push for instead
Key Points
- Now that new coronavirus relief aid is on its way, President Joe Biden could turn his attention to tax changes.
- “Nobody making under $400,000 a year will have their taxes increased,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this week of the president’s agenda.
- While the plans are still in development, here’s what experts expect to see on the table, including whether those with less than $400,000 in income could see any changes.
With the latest coronavirus relief package behind him, President Joe Biden may turn to another legislative priority this year: taxes.
Resetting how much Americans contribute to Uncle Sam could be high on the Democratic president’s list of priorities for this year.
Biden promised throughout his campaign that he would limit any tax hikes to people with incomes above $400,000.
“The President remains committed to his pledge from the campaign that nobody making under $400,000 a year will have their taxes increased,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this week.
She clarified on Wednesday that the $400,000 threshold applies to families, not individuals. Consequently, individuals who make $200,000 could be affected if they are married to someone who earns that same amount, for example.
Biden’s tax plan will focus on ensuring that corporations and wealthy individuals pay their fair share, she said. However, a formal package has not been released.
New taxes on the wealthy could help pay for infrastructure and other priorities, said Shai Akabas, director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. But whether Biden can stick to that $400,000 campaign promise remains to be seen.
“He did draw a pretty clear line during the campaign,” Akabas said. “I expect, at least in his initial proposal, he’ll stick to that.”
How tax changes could impact individuals
Biden’s plan is expected to call for an increase in corporate taxes, while individuals at higher income levels can also expect to pay more.
His plan has called for raising the top tax rate to 39.6%, from 37%, for those who earn more than $400,000.
He also wants to cap itemized deductions at 28% for people earning above that same threshold.
Brian Gardner, chief Washington policy strategist at Stifel, recently ranked both changes as having a “high” chance of going through.
One less probable change this year, according to Gardner, would be Biden’s proposal to apply payroll taxes to those earning more than $400,000 in order to help shore up Social Security.
Workers pay this tax on up to $142,800 of their wages in 2021. The change would create what’s called a donut hole, whereby wages between $142,800 and $400,000 would not be taxed. That gap would eventually close as the Social Security payroll tax goes up each year.
In order to make that change, there would have to be a larger Social Security discussion, “which I doubt we’re going to have this year,” Akabas said.
Certain other taxes aimed at the wealthy also rank high on the list of probabilities, according to Gardner.
That includes taxing capital gains as ordinary income — with a top rate of 39.6% — for those earning more than $1 million per year.
Raising the estate tax rate to 45% is also a strong possibility.
Many of Biden’s tax changes are designed to reverse some of the changes included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed under former President Donald Trump in 2017.
One of the more divisive items in that package was limiting the federal deduction on state and local taxes (known as SALT) to $10,000 per year.
However, restoring the full SALT deduction will probably be a low priority, Gardner predicts. One reason for that is that it would be seen as a tax break for the wealthy.
One workaround would be to add tax credits that would benefit lower-income taxpayers and couple it with additional taxes for high-income people. If that’s the case, then it’s “definitely possible” such a change could get included, Akabas said.
To be sure, what makes the final proposal will depend on the method by which Biden and Congress choose to move a bill along.
The tax policy changes could be paired with prospective infrastructure legislation that is also high on Biden’s agenda this year. If that’s the case, new tax rules could be used to help to pay for that initiative, Akabas said.
But if a tax reform package is done separately, that could make room for other changes like extending the enhanced child tax credit or earned income credit that were temporarily put in place under the American Rescue Plan, he said.
“It’s a little unclear yet which of these routes they’re going to be going down,” Akabas said.
Yes
so you are back to your old tricks... editing other peoples comments to the lies you want told...Yes
you low life motherfucking liberal go work for CNN!
And no matter what they say, the little guy average consumer just barely making it right now is the one who will be hurt. Prices will rise faster than low end income. Saving, if any are left after the last year plus of lock down, will vanish quickly. That "new coronavirus relief aid" won't last long for them, especially our senior citizen who won't get their next COLA until January. And with federal and state restrictions being lifted on foreclosures and rental evictions many are about to be out on the streets. When that happens foreclosures and shorts sales are going to result in another housing market crash. Brace yourselves people, the next year plus is going to be a bumpy ride.
