As these benefits rain down on the people, I hope they all remember who brought them… and who fought them. Merry Christmas!

Its great advertising to provide bonuses during the holidays, Im glad ATT didnt forget the office folk who often make less than union.
Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone.

@Bill… Deplorable Me:

they will not-to stupid

@M0S #8541:

they will not-to stupid

It’s too, not to, stupid.

dr john, if your list wasn’t predominantly financial institutions along with a select few with close political ties and/or contracts, it might be easier to sell this con game.

Considering how Trump has signed an EO making it legal for financial institutions to intentionally mislead investors, signed into law a republican bill making it illegal for people to band together to sue a bank when they cheat them, and went as far as to appoint a man to oversee the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau who doesn’t think that bureau should exist, it’s kinda easy to see why they might feel obliged to help the con man sell his scam.

Am I missing the expansions?
That’s where the REAL job growth and help to the economy come.
Comcast is going to invest $50 BILLION in the next 5 yrs in the US.
ATT&T is listed but what about the $1 BILLION they are investing in the USA?
Boing is adding $300 MILLION in US investment.
Add in the multipliers as more jobs are needed to support all those workers and our economy gains tons of new workers.

@Nanny G: AJ doesn’t understand the stupid things he is told to repeat… he just dutifully repeats it.

@Ajay42302: The CFPB is a Democrat money laundering scheme. But I guess you are ok with that. As for being cheated we got cheated out of 10 trillion dollars in new debt under Obama and you are ok with that too?

@Ajay42302:

dr john, if your list

It’s Dr. John. Stupid.

OMG didn’t nancy piglosi say the world would end if the tax cut passed? It would be funny if she really didn’t say it.
