Bad sign: Is even the IRS going broke?

 

 

Bad sign: Is even the IRS going broke?

      I'm in debt up to my neck right now.  What to do?  Maybe my IRS refund check will come through and save the day?  Nope, no way, not gonna happen any time soon.  It's a rather small amount, only $262 -- but still.  That would clearly help me make it to the end of the month.  "For Chrissakes, you're not exactly living in Gaza where $262 would seem like winning the lottery, right?  Stop whining."  Never!

     I'd filed my tax return in early February and now I was eagerly greeting the mail carrier every day.  "Gots anything from the IRS for me?"  No.  Then I went to https://sa.www4.irs.gov/wmr/, better known as "Where's my Refund?"  Apparently it's not coming in the foreseeable future.  I might expect it to arrive by the end of June however.  What!

     But maybe my California refund will be heading my way before then?  Forget about that too.  "Your tax return requires additional processing time."  It's probably not gonna get here until early July.

      So.  Am I being scammed here?  Or is it simply that both the United States and the State of California don't have any money left to send me?  That they are stalling around in order to collect interest on my measly refund or something like that?  If everyone in America who gets a refund is paid three months later than used to be the norm, what does that even mean?  Billions of dollars in interest earned?  Does our government actually need to be that stingy?

     Can our government really actually possibly be that broke?  Heck, yeah.  With trillions of dollars in payouts going toward all these so-called wars, including $34 billion just wasted on illegally invading Iran, why would any sane person think that there might be any money left in the budget for you and me?

PS:  I just took an Amtrak train down to Los Angeles in order to get an acting job.  I work all day as a SAG-AFTRA background actor and get paid $228.  Not enough to pay for my expenses but, hey, it's fun.  But then my train broke down in Merced.  Broke down!  Actually broke down.  Yes, our government can afford to spend trillions of dollars on blowing up people in Ukra$ne and West Asia -- but can't even keep America's trains running on time.   

PPS:  Anyone with eyes in their head can see that we're dealing with bread and circuses here.  Our government's job is to govern us benignly, right?  Not just to steal us blind -- but to actually make our lives better.  Not happening here in America for sure.  

     Our government is corrupt.  We are being systematically plundered instead of being nurtured and loved.  Our infrastructure is falling apart.  Inflation is off the charts.  Homelessness, death, the grim reaper stalks us like an angry ex-boyfriend.  So what does the government do?  Distract us.

     First they give us wars and genocides.  Then they give us moon shots.  But the biggest distraction of all has been the Epstein Files.  "Look over there, not over here."  We lost interest in the Epstein files?  Suddenly Melania reminds us.  And even Trump himself is a distraction.  Love the guy?  Hate the guy?  Doesn't matter as long as we stop noticing the trains breaking down -- or the IRS going broke.
 
PPPS:  I just spent over an hour trying to get the freaking IRS to mail me my freaking tax refund instead of just depositing it in my bank account.  
 
      At first I had tried to get my refund deposited in my account -- but no joy there.  "You must be biometrically identified in order to do that."  Okay.  "But first you need to have a SmartPhone."  What?  My flip phone isn't good enough?  Apparently not.  
 
      I finally ended up calling the IRS, waiting on hold forever and then begging them to send me my tax refund by mail.  And what do I have to blame for all this aggravation?  Executive Order 14247.  Signed by Donald J. Trump.  Apparently The Donald assumed that his MAGA base was totally computer literate, lived only in big cities and was in contact with the ghost of Steve Jobs.
