House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is being shunned by members of her own party for downplaying the benefits of tax reform. Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) informed Pelosi that $1,000 bonuses were not "chump change."
Crowley wondered whether those employers had already planned to dole out bonuses, despite the tax reform package. But, it's quite the coincidence when dozens of other companies have suddenly invested massively in their workforces after the vote. Boeing, AT&T, Darden Restaurant Group, Apple, and Starbucks to name a few.
Yet, Pelosi continues to be a broken record. The employee bonuses are "crumbs" compared to the rewards large corporations and the 1 percent are getting, she said (again) Thursday.
Pelosi Doubles Down on "Crumbs" Comment
"I say crumbs, they mock me in ads for saying that," she said at TrumpTax Town Hall event in Massachusetts. "Compared to the banquet they give at the high end."
Speaking of Massachusetts, Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. and HarborOne Bank announced they’d be giving out employee bonuses, and Eversource Energy said it will lower cost for customers.
Guess why.
Pelosi's speech was not only given in an awkward location, but an awkward time, considering the following news from Hostess.

Nancy’s plan is take the money back plus 500% and let HER SPEND IT for you ,LOL
If JFK had asked Nancy to do a Lewinsky right there in front of the camera she would be on that thing like white on rice.

I just got my first crumbs today. Basically $50 per check ($100 per month). I have 2 kids in college right now. That $50 goes straight to the travel fund to pay for their plane tickets. I am very happy to have the extra cushion.
More crumbs please...
Oh, that is good.
Just saw two articles about her wealth. In 2010 she was worth 42 million, today has it at 193. Nice ROI, Nancy and Paul. Care to explain how you did so well when the rest of us only doubled our money over that same period of time.
