2.4% for the rank and file. The majority of the wage increase went to managers and ceos

Really? the $1,000 bonuses etc are for less then 2% of the population. The extra we keep in taxes, is actually more then matched by increased debt.

The wealthy is benefiting. And even some of the top 10% are like me. but for the majority this is not winning. Yay you have an extra $100 a month for the next 7 years until the tax cuts expire.....you do that by getting FAR more in debt. In point of fact it would have been cheaper to just cut a check for 10K to everyone who is employed. Think about that.

We have all been winning for 8 years.

Thanks USA.

You all give way to much credit to one person and not enough to Americans in general.

Saving 100 a month for 7 years is a bad thing? On what planet? The tax cuts expire in 7 years. And? So?

You post so much, yet you can't back it up. Especially the bolded

Agreed.

It’s one thing to be dumb enough to think one person in office for just over a year could have that kind of impact or influence over the economy, but if you didn’t do well during the Obama years, that is 100% a personal problem.

Or possibly 3 years if Trump doesn't win re-election. I don't want to get into that discussion, just noting.

Or one year if he loses the House and Senate.

stop, Obama was never able to achieve the wage growth Trump has, his regulations have punished manufacturers while rewarding solar companies with crony subsidies.

He inserted politics into his economic agenda and created the slowest economic recovery in US history. Stop worshiping the man and look at facts.
