Those are probably the mean numbers.

Trump called those the average numbers so yeah.

It may be taxes will go down that much and wages will increase that much on average over time. The thing was just passed a bit over one month ago. My point is that we would almost certainly ALL have gotten hefty tax increases under Hillary. I will take a $1.50 a week increase over a decrease in weekly pay every day and twice on Sundays.

CARLOS DANGER DELETES TWEET TO 11 YEAR OLD GIRL...

Oh,wait...no he didn't.

Paul Ryan is a snake. This tweet was sarcasm.

Now that we know Hillary donated funds to Ryan and he accepted funds from her, we absolutely can call him a SNAKE!

The reason for such a small increase in my net is that fact my health insurance went up $1,500/yr.

Thanks Obama and the do nothing Congress.

Thank you for giving credit where credit is due. A RAT in the same circumstances would try to blame President Trump and the Republicans.

Don’t forget about inflation. Her pay went down YoY.

[MileHi]

Same here. The increase from the tax law offset the increased insurance premium.

I doubt this secretary got only $1.50 per week raise. I’m on a pension, and I got $75 a month with the decrease in taxes.

If Ryan was stupid enough to tweet that, he deserves the coming firestorm.

It's not stupidity. Ryan hates Trump and will do all he can to bring him down.

My Social Security check jumped $19.84 a month.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Ours went up $25/mo. Nowhere near the amount EVERYTHING else has gone up. One step forward and six back. Still, under Hellary, it would be worse.

Can these people be more out of touch....

My wife and I had a $284.00 a month insurance increase. More than doubled our rate. As retirees it really hurts!!! Our retirements won’t go up!!!

$1000 - Crumbs according to Pelosi

$1.50 per wk - Windfall according to Ryan

The problem is that our deficits continue to spiral out of control. All we’re doing is making people being born today pay for the tax cut while increasing spending.

The longer we delay adjusting spending to match tax revenue, the more painful it will ultimately be and the more likely that when it becomes a crisis, taxes are raised versus spending cut.
