So big surprise, banks did two things due to the tax cut for the rich:
1) Make record profits, and
2) Spend them on stock buybacks.
"Well surely the banks used some of their money to help their clients?"
Maybe, but that's hard to show. Foreclosures are way down, so banks are already getting the money their loans are worth, because most people aren't Trump and pay their loans, obligatory dig. But what I can't find is whether any foreclosures are in the "ah fuck it, they can keep the TV" forgiveness category or anything.
Still, Trump just paid billions upon billions directly to big banks. I hope that's what y'all voted for.

So..remember when Trump said he'd help farmers? I would think "tens of millions of children eating fruit and vegetables" would help with that. So would SNAP, incidentally.
