Looks like this may happen instead of a stimulus. Where's everyone gonna go?

Vegas. Laguna Beach.

Its a tax credit.

I think it could probably still be pretty easily used for international travel as long as you book your flight through a US carrier's website. You can game it by booking any Star Alliance flight through UA, or whatever your network is.

The only real issue I have with this credit is will mean everywhere will be FLOODED with people domestically and you really are going to need to think hard about picking somewhere that wont be a mob scene. Unless you are doing the Vegas thing where the crazier the better.

East St Louis

I'm shocked that Frank isn't here being outraged. I never though the airlines were the reason he was so upset about Red Robin being closed.

Inneresting. The rules for this are going to be wild.

God damn right.

Or I'd rather spend any new stimulus helping my local places than buy a ticket to Maui.

Why

I have no plans to fly anywhere in the next 12 months. No help to me.

It's a better idea than just handing the airlines a pile of cash.

will it be 4k for everyone? regardless of yearly income?

It's a much worse idea than handing taxpayers a pile of cash and if they chose to fly somewhere that's their decision.

I'd rather get a $4000 tax credit than a $1200 check.

This is dumb but I'll use it. Why is the travel industry special?

This thread is going to filled with so called conservatives being happy about the government telling them how to spend their money and it's going to be wonderful.

Lots of industries are strongly affected by travel, from aerospace to energy to commercial real estate.

You know, its very revelatory when the liberals who decry the inequity of the American system are the same people who cant seem to figure out what a tax credit is. Or would rather have less money now than almost three times as much money less than a year from now.

It is perhaps this type of financial ignorance and short-sightedness that causes such disillusionment with the system and not any sort of fault with the system itself.

This ain't gonna fly.

That's true for most industries. Why can't some use 4k to buy a car or renovate their house?

It's a tax credit up to $4K only if you spend the amount. Seems pointless for people who are unemployed.

Well because real estate is fine and the auto industry is probably going to be OK too. Though this Hertz thing is going to leave a bruise.

Obviously written by somebody who hasn’t even read the proposal.
