Disney announces a one-time cash bonus of $1,000 for over 125,000 employees.
The company will also make a $50 million investment into a new employee education program.
Both initiatives are a result of the recent tax reform.

How many more do you need?

Which is a small bit of the monies not paid in taxes, guess who will have to make up the difference.  It wont be mice.

Oh wait, for 8 years we have heard all about the deficit, thank heavens that no longer is a problem.

I don't expect to see everything balance out in just a few years, but without exports, the trade balance will always be imbalanced. By changing the taxes and renegotiating the trade deals that certainly did coincide with the downturn of prosperity for the people, we will begin to turn that around. Like cleaning out and reorganizing a closet, the first step makes it worse.

Real wealth stopped growing for the average person in the seventies. Everyone knows that. The government has been jacking with taxes for a long time. And you are better off because of the high taxes? Or does it just piss you off that a company is suddenly unburdened by confiscatory taxes? If you won't read then at Least learn from what you are seeing. Jobs coming back.
Obama said it was impossible, remember?
HE WAS WRONG. Learn from it.

You give obama credit?
What did he do exactly?

I think a president can effect it somewhat, but if it was as simple as saying a president wants jobs and a good economy, then you would have to be a real stupid to do anything otherwise.

Timing plays a BIG factor.

I think the joke is all the liberal rags and prognosticators said if Tweeter was elected it would tank, a real gloom and doom prediction.

That is the story, accept it or not.

Obama had economic growth during most of his presidency, after recovering from a great recession.


AND yet, not even one quarter of 3% growth. Stellar.
Say what you will, the tax cuts have affected the economy, positively and it's already seen and felt by John Q. Public.
If anyone is unaware of the companies
Bringing cash home and building plants it's because they are up CNN's butt so far they know nothing about what is really going on.
Look at Apple.

you're right, I did admit and accept that there is a left wing media that is trying to make Trump fail and look like a fool (not really that hard with the fool part)   I'm quite aware of bias in the media, it happens on BOTH sides, I do find one side (the left) to be more light hearted than the other and less gloom and doom and fear based, that doesn't make them any less biased, but a lot more pleasant to deal with.

actually, Obama had many quarters over 3% growth

https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-chance-from-preceding-peri...

some as high as 5.2% growth, and that's just from 2011 to 2017

now annually, you are correct, no 3% growth annually from Obama

and being part of John Q. Public, I'll admit, I believe, but I'd have to do math to figure it out for sure and that's not going to happen, that I've benefited from the tax cuts, I had my hours cut this year and I think the impact has been reduced due to the tax cuts, I thought I'd loose about $75 per check, but I actually only lose about $45 per check (biweekly) but there are a lot of factors that play into that, I have a lot of pre-tax expenses, healthcare, 401k, other benefits... so I don't know how all that played into my actual take home pay.  

and you still failed to answer the question. Apple's been playing with the idea of building the iPhone in the USA for at least 5 years now, I've heard Ford might be bringing a plant to the USA that was scheduled for Mexico, not sure why I think that though.

notice how when I argue, I provide links to exterior sources that back up what I say, while you just say I'm stupid for not believing you.  

so step it up a bit will ya, no wonder people here don't trust you or want to talk to you
