Duncan Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 if this fiscal cliff phenom that is maybe going to happen in the United States andl et's say it does happen, do you think it will impact the number of missionaries serving in the field? If taxes go up then money for missions may go down and so will the amount of missionaries that could be out serving will go down. Thoughts?

If taxes go up then money for missions may go down and so will the amount of missionaries that could be out serving will go down. Thoughts?At $400 a month, I daresay the typical LDS family -- in more affluent countries -- at least, won't have too much trouble meeting the burden.For my part, the prospect of putting off funding university tuition, fees, books, etc. for a couple of years and, instead, funding the mission is rather appealing. 1
Saints Alive Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The Church is pretty good at not letting financing get in the way of missionary service. I don't think it will be an issue.
rpn Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Well since the tax fight is over the "millionaires" who make 250-450K, then the risk is over who still has a job. I looked at projections today of the course of the country over ten years with and without the fiscal cliff. While fiscal cliff was worse for one year, it was better for next year and about the same over the years later.Let's not start the New Year with political threads.
