    The tax cut IS crumbs. Except for corporate America and the Richest people it was designed to benefit - https://www.bloomberg.com/view/artic...porate-america
    Only 6 million workers have seen a bonus or pay raise, out of 155 million workers, that's not much 4.3%. Only 407 out of 5.9 Million companies gave raises or bonuses. - https://americansfortaxfairness.org/...ptaxcuttruths/

    The Unemployment rate has been inching up the last 2 months - https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

    Tariffs are bad, so far, but like i posted above, I'm waiting to see. I had a customer last week outside of Columbus, OH who owns a 3rd Generation Sheet Metal fabrication plant and I asked him about the tariffs. He said as soon as Trump mentioned the word Tariff, prices on imported metals started going up and he's the one that told me that China can outproduce us because the US never kept up with robotic technology.

    And how exactly are our Allies pissing on us?? The NATO countries HAVE been paying their share and unless you want to believe Trump that we pay 90%, that's a lie. The U.S. is not paying 90 per cent of the costs of defending Europe, and there is no valid way to define NATO spending that results in such a "90 per cent" finding. According to NATO's 2018 annual report, U.S. defense spending represented 72 per cent of alliance members' total defense spending in 2017. Of NATO's own organizational budget, the U.S. contributes a much smaller agreed-upon percentage: 22 per cent.
