Quite telling.

"The new agency for social programs may include the pejorative "welfare" in its title ..

U.S. first-quarter GDP growth revised downward to 2% from an already-anemic 2.2% reuters.com/article/us-usa…

Even @FoxNewsResearch is trolling @larry_kudlow's brazen lying.

"Growth solves a lot of problems": first-quarter growth was 2%, and projected long-term growth is 1.9%.

"These tax cuts will be rocket fuel" – for deficits and debt.

Corporate profits have rarely swept up a bigger share of the nation’s wealth, and workers have rarely shared a smaller one.

Hourly earnings have moved forward at a crawl, and workers are asking whether they are getting a raw deal. #GOPTaxScam nyti.ms/2LkdKCo

Share of nation's total income in
2000 (last time unemployment was under 4%):
• corporations: 8.3%
• workers: 66%

Now:
• corporations: 13.2%
• workers: 62%

If workers’ share had not shrunk, they would have had an additional $532 billion, or about $3,400 each #inequality
