I was curious after reading all the increases in pay people were receiving so I checked my own circumstance. Govt pension check went up $500 a month but two hundred was for changing health plan. $300 increase - not bad, thanks President Trump!

Not having Play Doh, Puppies, or Teddy Bears to offer liberals, as SAVETHESNOWFLAKE org closed, I simply wanted to offer some comfort to them, to overcome their fear of a higher paycheck due to lower taxation.

The tax cuts were designed to give everyone a small bump up front. The mover and shakers reap the benefits forever. Reserving judgement is a wise move.

Exactly! Increase in weekly net is meaningless if you end up giving back in April 2019.
