I'm sure folks will enjoy the extra twenty bucks. What is less thrilling is that 2017 showed the largest deficit since 2013,

and with the trillion dollar cut in tax revenue, next year isn't looking good either.

Dollar fell 10% in value in 2017. Job growth is slowing down. Tax cut bill was a huge boon to foreign investors.

Might want to put that twenty bucks away for a rainy day.

Just saying.
People who are butt hurt complain about the same thing over and over.....hence, you're butt hurt....

Job growth is slowing because we are at or almost at full employment....
Tax cut is bring billions back to the US....as Tim Cook...

I will, and so you will...thanks trump....

Just saying....

My butt is just fine. However, since you keep bringing it up, I assume you may be having some troubles.

Tax cuts are a boon for foreign investors. How much of America are you fine with selling off?

If we are at full employment, then why are the unemployed coal miners, factory workers, retail workers still in a world of hurt?

Retail is shedding jobs like an old dog and will continue to do so. No respite in sight for the coal miners or the unemployed, low-skilled factory workers. Are you thinking any of these folks will be working for Apple next year?

Not as much as you complain....

If you think selling off America just started, you are far behind the curve....and very uninformed....

obama should have not cut the coal workers throats....same with factory workers...

some retail is others are not...

But we are now in so much more turmoil and are unable to even sustain our federal budget, due to the rancor he has instilled. The article in the link, offers a bit of hope that this is all soon coming to an end. The author of this article is John LeBoutillier, a former republican congressman from New York.

You're kidding, right? Obama put the coal workers on unemployment, and now you - a Democrat - are chiding the Republicans because the Republicans cannot undo the damage done by the Democrats?

Low paying garment industry jobs is what you want?

Nah..... The Snowflakes have no idea how to run a country. You want low paying jobs back into the country. You want illegal aliens to work those jobs. And then when Republicans take power you whine that low paying people are not being paid enough.

I see that your dream for America is everyone working in retail selling foreign products.

Honest question, in what way is the country in more turmoil? Other than the fake outrage about non existent problems.

We don’t have open borders and people can keep more of their money.

Outrageous, isn’t it.
