What the GOP calls economic growth is in reality recession.

The moron in chief right now babbling about “massive bonuses” for “millions and millions” of workers. Flat out lie, yet Whell continues to defend him. Sigh.

You must not understand the meaning of “massive”. Why am I not surprised?

In 1990, President George H. W. Bush raised taxes, and GDP growth increased over the next five years. In 1993, President Bill Clinton raised the top marginal tax rate, and GDP growth increased over the next five years. In 2001 and 2003, President Bush cut taxes, and we faced a disappointing expansion followed by a Great Recession.

Similar case can me made for the Reagan era and predictions are dire for the Trump tax cuts.

Warren Buffet's company had a $28 Billion windfall from the tax cuts. Ask him how many people he plans to hire?

Companies will use a significant part of the windfall for buy back.

I think I understand it pretty well. I'm not surprised at your desire to downplay the value of a bonus or pay increase to folks who might really need it. For you, a extra dollar an hour or $1000 bonus might not mean much, but to other folks it is pretty "massive".
Your comments are cynical and heartless. Why am I not surprised.
