The economy is booming, the tax reform package has spurred over 250 companies to dole out bonuses to some three million workers, more employee investments are coming, more jobs are projected to be created, and charitable donations are expected to increase from companies thanks to Trump’s tax bill. Apple’s repatriation of $250 billion, part of their $350 billion investments back into America over a five-year period is projected to create 20,000 jobs in the process. We've reached a new era, one of economic prosperity, which is what President Trump emphasized during the State of the Union Tuesday.
President Trump spoke of the good economic news to dead silence from Democrats. Job creation is up, with 2.4 million jobs created since the 2016 election—Democrats sat. They sat when the president announced we had defeated ISIS, touted low unemployment rates, fighting crime, uniting the country, and working together on a bipartisan basis. They were a legion of grumpy cats; still incensed that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. Yeah, they’re not over it. Another area of heartburn could be the Democratic Party’s rather atrocious fundraising hauls. Filed during the State of the Union in the hopes of getting buried, Ken Vogel of The New York Times picked it up where he noted the Democratic National Committee had raised a little over $5 million, finishing the year with a whopping $6 million in debt. The Republican National Committee has no debt and raised over twice as much as the their Democratic counterparts. For 2017, the RNC raised $132.5 million to the DNC’s $65.9 million. Regarding cash on hand, the RNC has close to $40 million ($38.8 million to be exact), while the DNC only has $6.3 million.
The DNC tried to bury their latest FEC #s tonight...
Dec. Raise

COH

Heading into 2018, the DNC is less than $200K away from insolvency. https://t.co/ifRY2NYlPD— Michael Ahrens (@michael_ahrens) January 31, 2018
Interesting timing: @DNC files its @FEC report in the middle of the #SOTU, revealing that it raised $5.2M last month, but finished the year with $6.1M in debt. https://t.co/N9mSrDoE7v— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) January 31, 2018
Yeah, I don’t blame Democrats for trying to use a highly televised event to file and hopefully bury this report. It’s quite ugly.
It’s been a long time since a major American political party collapsed.
It’s very easy for people that do not earn a paycheck to believe it.
Courtesy and respect. (That'll show 'em!)
Makes me wonder as they do work. I don’t think we will ever hear the truth!
The older I get, the more willfully ignorant I view people based on their political leanings and beliefs.
That’s a keeper.
Excellent post !
At this point…what difference does it make.
Hillary is irrelevant.
“So their answer to their $$$ problems is to act like complete partisan assholes??”..........
They weren’t “acting”, they ARE partisan A holes.
As Rush pointed out (during one of his endless Apple rants), this is fully a third of the entire Obama Stimulus Plan. It will DIRECTLY stimulate the US economy instead of stimulating only the back pockets of Obama friendly unions. And this is just from a single company.
The overall effect of the tax cut package will be 'yuge'.
I like to look at it this way...
IF the Democrats had not embraced ABORTION in the 1970s, their Democrat descendants would be ruling America forever.
“Someone posted on Facebook that Bernie Sanders said citizens are only getting some 4 cents per dollar and these bonuses/pay increases are meaningless?????”
That would be 4%, which is a bigger pay raise than most have seen in the last few years.
My latest pay check figures out to a 7% increase.
“When listening to Kennedy’s response, he basically talked as if Americans are victims, while the feeling listening to Trump was a sense of victory.”
Very much like President Ronald Reagan’s speeches, “We are Americans and can do anything we put our minds to”. That is, pride in our country and in ourselves whereas. the democrat view is how horrible we are not only as a country but as a people.
“Someone posted on Facebook that Bernie Sanders said citizens are only getting some 4 cents per dollar and these bonuses/pay increases are meaningless?????
She and others took this as gospel truth. I find it hard to believe.”
Those “snowflakes” can be fed anything by the democrats and swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
Your post needs to be made into an easily postable/sendable/tweetable graphic!!
Nice to see all that money, but the HARD PART is next - which is deciding that it’s more important to use that money to fight DEMOCRATS, rather than fight conservatives.
You mean the Leftists\DEMs (I repeat myself) run their party like they run govt?!
Where’s my shocked face pic /s
>
Millions....millions....of people got more money in their paychecks this week

Think more people would be happ(y|ier) if we got more of our OWN $$$ in our paychecks. Something for ALL taxpayers, not as some benevolence of their employer.
Not saying it’s BAD, but it CAN be *BETTER*.

The latter. She’s just trying to ascertain if she left ‘em in the cup on the nightstand again, or not...
