ATT bonuses for employees.

Reading tweets complaining about this, claiming that AT&T will hike cellular and internet rates next year.

This is good news for AT&T employees, and for the economy.

Second company announces big bonuses and pay increases...

Fifth Third Bancorp in Cincinnati, Ohio, will pay more than 13,500 employees a bonus and raise the minimum wage for its workforce to $15 after the passage of the GOP tax plan that will cut the bank's corporate tax rate.

Fifth Third said the tax cut allowed it to reevaluate its employee pay and pass along some of the windfall. Nearly 3,000 workers will see hourly wages rise to $15. The $1,000 one-time bonus is expected to be paid by the end of this year, the bank said, assuming President Trump signs it by Christmas.

Can't wait to see how Democrats attack this tax cut with companies putting out statements like this.

More businesses announce wage increases and other investments due to tax bill.

Wells Fargo, meanwhile, also said it would be boosting its minimum wage for employees to $15 an hour, which was prompted by the tax plan. The San Francisco-based bank also said it would target $400 million in donations to community and nonprofit organizations next year.

Where's the wall?

When do the mass deportations start?

When does Hillary get indicted?

When does NAFTA get repealed?

Instead, we get tax cuts for big business (tax cuts are always good, of course), DACA will get transformed into amnesty for millions, Obamacare stays (just tweaked a bit) ...

In other words, business as usual. Trump didn't generate the support he got because he promised Wells Fargo and company a tax cut, or because he promised to move the embassy to Jerusalem, or because he promised to keep the Swamp™ right where it is.

Trump is doing a whole lot better than Obama did.

If Hilary had been elected president we would have more of the same.

The lame fake news media will never give any credit to Trump.

10 dimensional chess, right?

Trump was supported on the basis of certain promises, none of which have materialised, and most of which have been ditched. Hillary is not in jail. DACA was not rescinded, and will soon become amnesty. There will be no wall. Trump is the swamp.

Deportations are being stepped up.
Right now, we still have a shortage of men at the border, much less enough to round of those already here.

When does Hillary get indicted?

Indeed.

When does NAFTA get repealed?

NAFTA is being renegotiated, a was promised. If negotiations fail, it's done.

DACA is a good bargaining chip for the wall. I've never had a problem with at least some of those brought here years ago as children getting some consideration.

You seem to downplay the treachery of the GOP leaders.

He commuted the sentence of a Jewish Lubavitcher who had employed hundreds of illegals at his kosher meat packing plant, who was an embezzler and a swindler and a fraud...

We finally have recovered most of the jobs that were lost in the Great Recession. Politicians and public-policy makers are celebrating the fact that unemployment is under 5%.

However, the Great Recession primarily wiped out the mid-wage jobs, and the strongest growth during the recovery has been in low-wage jobs.

The National Employment Law Project found in 2012 that 58% of the recovered jobs were in low-wage occupations, with median hourly wages from $7.69 to $13.83 an hour. Mid-wage occupations, with median hourly wages from to $13.84 an hour to $21.13 per hour, were the big losers—60% of all jobs lost in the recession. The higher wage jobs, from $21.14 to $54.55 per hour, lost 19% during the recession, but have recovered 20% and are doing well. In essence the poor economy has replaced good jobs with bad ones.

How is that when Trump's Tax scheme wasn't even voted on until this week?
