In truth, I think a lot of you are actually pretty destitute. That’s gotta be the only explanation. Anyone making decent money couldn’t POSSIBLY see this as a big deal. If anything, this has been owed to working people for years, and should be much more.
Yep it’s been owed to working people for eight long ugly obama years.

Looks like the only one around here who hints at being “so successful” is you.
So tell us, is that your RV with the brown stain down the side over at the M? Or maybe that’s your G6 parked at Executive?
Either way, your arrogance is appalling.
Go back to counting your bucket of quarters.

But slap an (R) after somebody's name, cheer his bigoted speeches, and suddenly he's a saint and a hero... right...

If you think that the government is giving you "free money," you are so sadly mistaken. Those in power do not share it. If they give you something for "free," rest assured there is a huge, hidden price associated with it.

Seriously, people - if some shady character on the street walked up to you and gave you $20, you'd trust him? You wouldn't even check where your wallet is afterwards, I bet... suckers.
Obama thought 40$ would buy him trust....



"Obama will point people to a new section of the White House website where they can “share what a $40 paycheck means to them.” In addition, he’ll urge them to make use of a new Twitter hashtag, #40dollars."


Pelosi on the other hand is uber wealthy and to her 1,000$$ is chump change. Wouldn't even make a down payment on a designer change purse. Oh wait, both Pelosi and Obama are in the same political party! Maybe someone should have introduced them to keep their message straight.

Did you see her permanent scowl on her face last night during the State of Union speech?
What a bitter narrow minded women.

And her and the rest of the Dem Party couldn't even recognize our Vets during the speech. They chose to sit on their hands.
Pathetic ungreatful bunch. They are allowed to sit there, because of soldiers who have fought for this Country along with the soldier's families who have suffered and sacrificed.

All the meanwhile they are there for illegals. Idiots

are Democrats referring to $1000 bonuses as crumbs show clearly they no longer the party of the middle class?

Let's understand that no one is the party of the middle class. The percentage of companies that are giving bonuses is so small that a very small percentage of the American people are effected by them.

The great salesman gave a good speech last night and the Democrats recognized it for what it was, a sales pitch.

I could just imagine the political hand job that FOX news is giving Trump this morning.

Considering that Nancy Pelosi is worth more than $29 million dollars, I'm sure $1,000 is crumbs to her. Ask the majority of Americans who cannot pull $500 out of savings for an emergency if the $1,000 is crumbs to them. Ask the low wage workers like those at Walmart or Disney who are receiving the money, and I'm sure they would say $1,000 is not crumbs. It doesn't surprise me that a super rich woman like Pelosi thinks that $1,000 is nothing. It does, however, show how out of touch she is with the middle class. What will she say next, "let them eat cake?"

I remember years ago when Republicans referred to part time and or low paying jobs in the same mindframe as this bonus

So why is it ok to call a 15,000 job "crumbs", but not a 1,000 bonus ?????

You do realize that there are millions of us who didn't get any bonuses?
