    I do not consider 835 more money to spend each year, crumbs. Maybe you do. Must be nice to be rich if you do. There are literally millions who would love having 835 dollars more each year to spend. For many, that would pay their whole winter gas bill.

    Good time to buy stocks. If you are into that sort of thing. And if you are really concerned about a market crash and inflation, buy gold or silver.

    Again you are missing the point of her statement, which is starting to become very clear and you refuse to even try to understand it or maybe that is your point.


    Crumbs is not how much money you got relative to how much money you make or have.

    its relative to how much money was given to corporations and the rich, relative to the amount you are getting.


    Besides even though you will be saving 835 each year your tax return check will be about 150 dollars less because you are paying less taxes. So your real savings is closer to 700ish.

    I could also remind you this tax cut currently has no way of paying for itself. Borrowed money will have to be paid back. Less money the feds have to give to states. States will have to tax more. etc etc etc

    Yeah, and it the tax bill were actually representative of a wage increase said millions would actually have that extra 835 dollars.

    Don't let me get in the way of shilling, though.

    Nope, S&P still going up and down a lot so far today, with an overall downward trend. We'll see how it looks at the end of the week, day to day comparisons aren't really worthwhile.

    Ah, see, I usually focus on the DOW, which is basically even.

    DOW is designed to more or less always go up. It's only a 30 company average, and if one of them underperforms it gets swapped out.

    The White House once again tries the What He Meant Was approach.

    A White House spokesman claimed on Tuesday that President Trump has not focused on the stock market, despite his repeated praise for Wall Street’s post-election rally.

    “Obviously the president did tout the stock market, but I would hardly say he focused on it,” White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said during a Fox Business network appearance.
    "In fact, Trump had little to do with the stock market," Gidley went on to say. "They never met. Dow Jones was basically a coffee boy."
