Huh? I view long-term solutions as viable. This was just more of a long-term solution for corporate profits, and a short-term carrot for most citizens. People live for today, so they're happy with what they can get now, regardless of what happens next year. And they know that.

And I don't have a base. You think I run the Democratic party or something?

good goodness....I'll play this stupid game for now before my nap and hockey starts....

firstly, you are a leftist.....don't give me that bs....

so if revenue remains stagnant, what happens next???

your turn....

I would say I'm a centrist. What is this tax plan going to do to the national debt? Now we don't care? Companies were doing well for the past 10 years. I have a Value Line survey showing all the positive results for most of the 1,000+ companies. Are we really going to get enough growth on top of all this to pay for that? Even most economists probably disagree with that.

I would say you’re not a centrist. I would also say that the impact of this is not a whole lot greater than rounding error considering what was already baked into the pie from the GWB and Obama years.

Bottom line—We’re not going to balance the budget without a consumption tax. Run all the numbers you want, there is no other way to get there.

The bonuses are great and I hope it's the start of real wages rising across the board.

I hope you're right. Just not holding my breath. So far my company has not said anything about increasing our bonuses.

Stinky, that's because more and more they find themselves crying all the way to the bank. It's hard criticizing a position that's putting money in your wallet. And that goes a million times for rich Libturds that vote Demoncrap.

The point, for me, is that while nice this is not a long term solution for the workers. A permanent pay raise is much more beneficial. Additionally, with the bonus withholding rules they're only going to net around $650.


So decline it right? Or maybe donate it? I’m sure the local food pantry can stretch another 650$ a looong way.

There, your problem is solved...

WTF are you babbling about? We're analyzing the situation...that bonuses alone to a small percentage of Americans isn't going to move the needle. Stop being a drama queen.

Just look at any market index chart starting in around 2008 up until now. If you think that's bs I don't know what planet you've been living on. Of course it dropped around 2008 so it was naturally going to go up some. Just saying that this stock market rise didn't magically kick in in 2016.

I agree the valuations look high - the more I look at it, the more it looks like a market bubble.

Why would they?
