    Admitting the problem is the first step in solution....
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Is there an tantrum emoji? Maybe I should use that!

And more to me than the lower and middle classes. I can do without the benefit. Others need it more. And I don't think it is just to saddle our children and their children with the debt for our spending.

                            SMH.
                            I would acknowledge I was wrong (and have before) if I actually was wrong. The first article I linked indicated that businesses were not planning to use the tax money to increase jobs and listed four other priorities. It does not say that there will not be new jobs added at all. The second report, cites significant job growth in January, but does not attribute any of this growth to the tax cut. Both of these reports can be true and the second does not counter the first.

                            And the jobs picture appears to be a bit muddy for January (not unusual just after the month closes). The post reports 200K, not 234K. Have not seen the BLS numbers yet.
