Our taxes go up every 2 years after the initial “cut”. Some, like my household, fell into a donut hole where we have paid more and more every year since 2017, including the year everyone supposedly paid less.

I have been paying student loans for decades. I haven’t missed a payment. I’ve more than paid back the cost of my education. I’m basically stuck paying the banks now. I welcome some relief even if you and the GOP think I’m a freeloader.
