Nancy Pelosi hasn't exactly been in clover since she disdainfully sniffed that $1,000 worker bonuses were just " crumbs " following the Republican passage of tax cuts. She was so against those that she screeched that " people are going to die !" if the tax cuts dared pass in Congress. After the tax cuts did, just as in Aesop's tale of the fox and the grapes, she called the resulting unexpected bonuses "crumbs."
Apparently, the fallout has been so bad on that she's backtracked on her remarks, putting out this tweet, which was noticed by Fox News:
Certainly we are thankful whenever workers get bonuses. But it is *incredibly* telling that companies by-and-large chose to give out one-time bonuses, and not long term raises. #GOPTaxScam — Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) March 8, 2018
It's because her "crumbs" remark was nothing short of an insult to workers. One thousand extra dollars in workers' pockets left a lot of them fairly pleased about the improvement in their circumstances after eight years of Obama and Democratic rule.
Pelosi's remark raised questions about her perception of reality, calling attention as it did to her own heavy wealth compared to that of ordinary workers. After all, when you are worth the millions she is, a mere $1,000 really does look like crumbs.

she (or her staffers) figured out she pissed off blue collar workers, who were also supporting Trump’s tariffs.
Hey Nancy.....if $1000.00 is just crumbs then DON”T TAKE ANY DONATIONS UNDER THIS AMOUNT!
If the democrats were smart, they would get rid of her quickly.
Too late to walk it back now, Miss Nancy.
Your legacy is now mostly crumbs and lack of empathy.
Too late. She’s been ‘branded’ with the ‘crumbs’ comment.
They very well could, she’s ticked off a lot of them.
Somebody needs give a clue to this moronic strumpet that tax cuts are long term raises.
It’s actually about 20 times more telling that Nancy Pelosi makes this kind of comment. Because, you see, she believes she should be in charge of how you receive your money. How often. How much. Perhaps even whether it’s on a Tuesday or a Friday. Because at root, it’s hers. Not yours. You are not really capable of understanding that this money in your pocket versus whatever investment she has planned for you is bad for you. She is the one who has your best interest at heart. She’s the one standing up for the little guy.
The communist mentality is that all money belongs to the government, and workers should only get what the government thinks they deserve.
“But it is *incredibly* telling that companies by-and-large chose to give out one-time bonuses, and not long term raises.”
She really is a dumbass:
“Target raises its minimum wage again”

Single year bonuses instead of general pay increases are not a longer term liability. If the company is flush with cash now does not mean it always will be. Simply ignorant, this woman is.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
I am quite certain that we will hear the word crumbs come from Trump’s lips quite a bit 3 years from now. :)
The RATS should send her back to San Freakcisco, give her a poop scoop, and have her clean up the streets....a job that she MIGHT be able to handle....
Yep, various companies have raised wages and contributed to retirement programs.
