    There are a lot more people living paycheck to paycheck in the US than in Germany and other developed countries.

      Agreed. Maybe they should call on the government to do something more productive and permanent than a temporary tax holiday.

        Yeah, but every time the government tries to do something that could actually help people there are cries about “socialism” and “government overreach.” There’s no winning in American politics, so temporary tax holiday it is.
