Only Hillary has people killed. During slow times running the pedo ring.

How's that tax cut working for ya?

Got your wage increase that was promised? Your hefty bonus?

https://www.epi.org/blog/worker-bonuses-slump-22-percent-after-gop-tax-cuts/

Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employer Costs for Employee Compensation gives us a new chance to look at private sector workers’ nonproduction bonuses in 2018 and March 2019 to gauge the impact of the GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The bottom line is that bonuses in the most recent quarter, March 2019, remained very low at $0.72 per hour (in $2018), the same as in December 2018 and far below their $0.88 level in 2017 or the $0.90 level in 2018.

An examination of overall wage and compensation growth does not provide much in the way of bragging rights for tax cutters, especially given the expectation of rising wages and compensation amidst low unemployment. Private sector compensation and W-2 wages both fell by 0.9 percent over the last year (March 2019 versus March 2018) and were lower in March 2019 than the average for 2017, the year before the tax bill passed. W-2 wages in March 2019, $27.44, were lower than in December 2017, $27.79, a drop of $0.35 or 1.2 percent.

In our last analysis we cautioned that the sharp drop in bonuses reported for December 2018—a $0.22 per hour decline in bonuses between December 2017 and December 2018—might be a statistical fluke. That bonuses remained at the same low level ($0.72/hour) in March 2019 indicates that there has been an actual decline in bonuses, twenty-two percent below their level in December 2017 before the GOP tax cuts passed. Nonproduction bonuses as a share of total compensation fell from 2.7 percent in December 2017 to 2.1 percent in December 2018 and remained at 2.1 percent in March 2019.
For bonuses, this is the lowest share of compensation since the summer of 2014, as indicated in the graph. As prior analyses have noted, we would expect bonuses to expand, not contract, in a low unemployment environment where businesses must expand efforts to recruit workers. As a June 2018 Wall Street Journal article noted:

That’s been the thing, we’re beyond full employment yet wages, even anecdotally, are stagnant. This is bonkers. Or it’s evident that maybe we aren’t at full employment and the jobs lost during the Great Recession never actually came back.

Either way, the 1% are squeezing the last few drops of blood out of us before winter comes.

And yet his go to brag is still the stock market.

Then again the people who vote for him are so stupid, they may see the stock market as a win for them instead of their slave masters

Taxes are slanted to capital. Economics is slanted to shareholders. Wage workers are ****ed every turn.

Interview by Chuck Todd with Dump was interesting. Most interesting was how Trump spent a lot of time pumping up Hillary Clinton as a campaigner, opponent. Anything to make his victory look better I guess.

I work at the Zeeland, MI Tyson Foods plant. In late February 2018, we got a $1000 bonus as a result of The Heist, which was only $666 after taxes. A bunch of us wondered why they couldn't raise our pay $1-2/hour more then. Late 2018- early 2019, we were gathered in and told that all pay was raised, and starting pay (class 1 positions) would be raised to $14.90 to start. While I am grateful for any pay bump, it still feels like they could have done more.

And in case you're wondering, that plant has a terrible turnover rate at like 35-37%.

I bet if you listed the definitions of debt, deficit and tariff, he could not match them up with the correct word

Putting aside the examples of racism, xenophobia, bias against LGBTQ, unsavory business practices, association with white nationalists (hello Kris Kobach) and more, to be fair, none of them shot anyone on Fifth Avenue and that also remains the bar for Trump admin choices. :rolleyes:
