Looking beyond the 115th’s plan to remain in control in the 116th, a long term solution for American workers involves retraining ,,, not temporary tax cuts.
" …
The research, which is published in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group, finds that coordinated reskilling that aims to maintain or grow wages has very high returns for workers at risk of displacement – and for businesses and the economy. At-risk workers who retrain for an average of two years could receive an average annual salary increase of $15,000 – and business would be able to find talent for jobs that may otherwise remain unfilled. With this approach, up to 95% of at-risk workers would find new work in new, higher-income jobs. Without such coordinated upskilling efforts, the report finds, one in four of at-risk workers would lose on average $8,600 of their annual income even if they are successful in moving to a new job.
However, this reskilling revolution requires that 70% of affected workers retrain in a new job “family” or career, highlighting the need for retraining initiatives that combine reskilling programmes with income support and job-matching schemes to fully support those undergoing this transition.
“The only limiting factor on a world of opportunities for people is the willingness of leaders to make investments in re-skilling that will bridge workers onto new jobs. This report shows that this investment has very high returns for businesses as well as economies – and ensures that workers find a purpose in their lives,” Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum.
Yes, indeed, crumbs. Because they came back when they got the deal they wanted, not the deal that served America best. If I had my choice of waiting until the government lowered my taxes or spending billions MORE I’d live overseas myself. Crumbs she said, crumbs it is.
Every company gives annual bonuses. It takes an inept president to take credit for something that happens annually. That would be like taking credit for Christmas. Which he also did. Watch for Trump to tout making the sun rise in the East, and for his faithful to believe him. I’ll look forward to Payne’s cartoon about Trump getting the sun to rise, and the Dems looking upset about Trump making the moon set. That will be such a funny toon!

Yes, those employees are happy that they get a one time payment of a few dollars. It’s so nice to see that the 1% are trickling on them.

Those small bonuses are crumbs compared to Pelosi’s millions. She is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, don’t kid yourselves.

Typical Payne … Simply ignore those who got the HUGE (bigly?) benefits from this so-called tax “reform” bill!

Did any actual “workers” get any raises or is it just the higher-ups padding each other’s wallets again?
