I would guess the number of cases where the cost of living+private school tuition is less than the cost of living in a better school district is rare.

Private school tuition shouldn't be tax deductible IMO

eff you rusty

Also the overwhelming majority of CEO's of the Fortune 500 companies all went to public schools. its not too late to throw your kids to the unwashed masses to baptize them hard.

fun fact- my siblings and I all went to private school, they graduated and I transferred to public as a freshman, there was zero difference in quality of education when you took the ap curriculum in the public school, my poor dad pissed away $230,000 at that joint.

Average $0.65 / hour raise for Wal-mart employees!*

*not the ones who were working at the 63 Sam's Club locations that are closing

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-42646899

Also, is the minimum wage increase actually related to the tax cuts?

Quote

The raise will increase the average hourly pay at Walmart for full-time employees from $13.85 to $14.50.

Hourly workers will be paid between $11 and $24.70 an hour.

Walmart raised its minimum wage to $9 an hour in 2015 and the following year offered a $1 rise to those who completed an internal training scheme.

Yeah, as the labor market continues to tighten, wages were going to go up anyway. It's just what happens with low unemployment.

Dow 26,000. A thousand point increase in a week. Markets up over 40% in a year under President Business. I guess all that talk about tax reform being baked into the market was... complete bullshit.

Just for posterity sake, are you going to blame the Republicans when the market correction comes or not?

wetwillie · « **Reply #1223 on:** January 16, 2018, 11:42:31 AM »

It's not coming, Trump will do everything possible to make sure that his successor gets to deal with that

catastrophe · « **Reply #1224 on:** January 16, 2018, 12:37:14 PM »

If Trump could actually manage that (even if he keeps plunging us deeper into our already ridiculous deficit) he would deserve some credit for sure.
