My business is growing, my taxes are lower.
Great to hear. Are you raising your employee salaries?
Because our “President” despite his great concern for middle class wages, is not:

But of course, he signed a tax law into place that will cost $150 Billion for the next ten years, when these raises amounted to $25 Billion for one. And they were actual, direct, middle class wage increases. Rather than depending on the power of “trickle down” to raise wages, which anyone could have told him wasn’t going to work. But this is typical of the GOP. They claim to want to help America’s working class, but if you work for the government you compete for dollars they want to give back to their wealthy donors. The later wins every time.
Irony is, because of the way budget caps work, this doesn’t actually save any money. The extra dollars freed up from the budget for pay increases will go to appropriations to spend on other things. But maybe it isn’t ironic at all, just expected that our “President” doesn’t actually understand how the government works.
