    What really is going to be amusing is when the debt is actually reduced because of tax reform. MSM and the left will pretend like they never made that argument.

    Not one Democrat voted for this. Good luck selling this to the American people for the 2018 elections.

    Crumbs.

    I guess enough crumbs become a cake?

    Who doesn't like cake?

    Terrorists. That's who.

    I’m going back on the job market this spring and I can’t imagine a better hiring environment than this.

    I can’t see Democrats emphasizing tax reform at all in 2018. It’s a loser issue for them.

    The survey, published Wednesday, contacted the companies that make up the S&P 100 to determine which would boost worker pay, provide bonuses or increase domestic investment in direct response to Trump-backed tax reform.

    Question:

    Don't get me wrong, I hope everybody gets a pony for Christmas.
    But Trump has been spouting what a boon this tax break is

    What is Donald J Trumps record with making promises?
    How much wall was built today ?

    I learned a long time ago, if something looks too good to be true, it is probably , too good to be true.

    I have a pretty good job right now and love the people I work with but I'm very tempted to go search myself. The market is tremendous and the pay is enticing.

    If the people of this country know anything, big if considering the recent responses seen in this thread, the Dems are going to get killed in November. By this time I would expect to see full year 2017 GDP growth at around 3% while individuals quarters in 2018 (aside from first quarter which always lags because of January) will be between 3.5-4.

    Its just too easy with the left - They have become irrational emotional creatures with no ability to have any logical thought when it comes to this administration.

    But his post said it was for all worker, full time and part time, and may include senior management as well

    Oh I get the point that you were making - The guy doesn't seem to know how to read.

    But the idea that people who make over 100k are not workers was clear in his post by using quotation marks. Apparently because some of us have worked hard and gotten promotions and further education/certifications we are no longer workers.

    Plus $100K in silicon valley is basically food stamps

    Digging more into the apple announcement and not sure people realize the commitment they are making... $350B investment in next 5 years. Just crazy big numbers.

    Between that and Fiat, I'd say those are the biggest announcements.

    Followed by the wage increase announcements... specifically Walmart and the banks/Capital One
