Crumbs! Everyone knows that welfare bunnies contribute more to the economy with their paychecks funded by taxpayers.

Family members of mine who work for Best Buy and Lowe's just found out they're getting a $1,000 bonus.

They're happy, it was a pleasant surprise. I got a tweet from one of my sons, "Dad you predicted this" because a few weeks ago I told him that he would probably get a bonus, raise, or both, because companies are going to have to start fighting to keep their employees.

Please let us know if your family members think their 1K bonuses are better than a Pelosi Poke-in-the-Eye-with-a-Stick. Thanks.

They don't think it's crumbs, LOL. My wife got her first paycheck with the new, lower, withholding tax and she was pleasantly surprised, it was significantly lower. Of course, she'll probably blow it all on QVC, but, hey, it's good for the economy.

Millions upon millions of eyes will open wide this month when the see their paychecks. And...they don't have one dimwit to thank for it. What fodder for political ads later this year. (Of course, Pelosi could counter by buying busloads of snowflakes, homeless, etc. to lay in the streets as though dead.)

the tax cuts for the corporations are permanent, while the individual tax rates could change up or down going forward. that would depend on how much of an expansion to the revenue base that this tax cut can bring. so far its anticipated to be good for the increase in revenue. the GDP numbers will tell the whole story, i think they need at least 4% growth within 2 years.

Our electric company has announced that because of the tax cuts they are going to be able to lower all rates by 5%.
