Enjoy it. You'll need a lot more when your 2019 Insurance Bill comes, and will also need to save some of that to pay for gas at the pumps. The hand-out to big oil (his tariff) will cost you a little bit each time you fill up. Another 20-cents per gallon, 20 gallons per week, just $4/week, or $200/year.

Oh, and his wall may make your repair guy rates go up when your guy is in high demand because there are no immigrants doing that work.

Enjoy it while you can...

And social media exploded over Joe's Chapstick. LMAO.

The liberals are eating their own.

But wait, aren't the taxes being collected to pay your pension theft? I keep hearing from far right-wingers that any form of tax is theft.

Stop listening to far right wingers.

My check also went up about 100 bucks.

Does me no good. I was laid off many months ago. I don't care about those "tax changes". None of it will help me until someone hires me.

The best to you, green_mariner. I hoped that your current situation improves in short time.

All the best to you! That's a tough situation to be in.

Sorry to hear that. Hang tough. I know a few people who were out of work for a couple of years and recently found jobs (over the holidays, no less!). The job market seems more robust than it has in quite a while so keep plugging and hopefully something will come your way soon.

97 months of job growth -- last year being the slowest in quite a few years.

Not sure how robust it can get when the unemployment rate is so low.

Hang in there though -- we'll see what January job numbers are and get back to you.
