So you Repubs say that employers will pay more, etc

[Stargazer99]

Just this last month my daughter's employer told her that she will have only 20 hrs of work instead of her usual 40 hrs a week....See how that works? Did you swallow the lie?

1. Employers will not pay more. Some people will get a little more take-home pay

because the withholding amounts are changing. Speaking of which, how long do you think it will take the understaffed, underfunded and technologically backward IRS to figure out the withholding amounts, publish the rules and make the forms and publications available to employers? How long after that will it take employers' payroll departments to make the changes? I'm foreseeing an implementation clusterfuck. Nobody is going to see a bigger paycheck next month, or the month after. The devil is always in the details...

2. I told my husband this morning,

Look how long they worked on the ACA & the rollout had some problems. This will be that on steroids. The GOP can't do anything but lie, cheat, & steal.

3. The whole thing was a con. Since the "great recession" employers figured out that raises and

generosity is unnecessary. This windfall will be used to line their pockets. I expect to see the market for luxury goods and auctions of rare antiques and paintings to explode in the way they did after the other rounds of tax cuts.
