I have noticed just about everything at the grocery store, prices have gone up. I also have no plans on purchasing any big ticket items. Forget the holidays anyone I know needs nothing, they already have enough crap, I see no reason to buy more crap only to wind up in a landfill at some later date. I will not finance anything big or small. If I can not pay cash, I do not want. I will give my money to the homeless or less fortunate. Peace on 🌎 is my only wish. !Oh and to have #45 Impeached and removed from office.

Slashing taxes for Corporations = profit, the ONLY reason they hire more employees is when they HAVE to, NOT because they can afford to.

But They got what they wanted the rich got richer and the country suffered

[claywilliston]

Does anyone besides me think Trump I trying to ruin America’s place in the world to help Putin

[jenniferjean]

Trump is going to make Nixon look like a Saint and Savior.

The tax plan IS very simple. More for the rich and less for the poor. That is really quite simple.

[georgannasmaltz]

All of the tax cuts went to the very rich that didn't put the money back to the employees. The money went to the employers. Went right back in the employers pockets!!

"Simplified the tax code" = "Removed deductions for the Middle Class"

[jasonmoser]

how about looking at the kind of jobs people are doing - that will answer your wage issue.

It is time for the Democratic Party to have their kick at the cat, have control of all three congress, senate, White House . I have supported Republican Party for over 40 yrs. . Never trump and never again.

[jantruitt]

Nope tax cuts will never happen for the middle class and definitely not for the lower class!
😢🤔😢🥴😢

The unemployment rate doesn't capture the level of labor under-utilisation, because it counts a person as employed (and so not unemployed) when they work 1 hour per week. A million people going from 40 hours work per week to two hours per week doesn't change the unemployment rate.

Reich has an amazing youtube channel, go ahead and check him out, he is making so much sense.

[djmartin]

Trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy.

[PiperStart]

The Russiapublicans have much to worry about.

[AliceNsWonderland]

3:39 both guys on either side of Ryan cannot keep a straight face when he says "this plan is for the middle class families in this country who deserve a break..."

[waswestkan]

What the US need is an educated labor/ cunsmer party, to help each other to stop voting for what's not in their best interest, as well as dispell indoctrination, they bought into. Labor enjoys owning property, thus the aren't going to be open to the communism fear mongering, if they are educated. Thing about socialism is that socialism within the USA begins within our constitutio, but it's socialism that benefits land owners and merchants first.

[Juliett-A]

Robert Reich is a smart guy who knows what he is talking about. You should have him on more often.

[Kermit_T_Frog]

I imagine that a lot of Americans are welcoming an economic slowdown... and feeling guilty about it. But a recession is a small price to pay for getting this criminal out of the White House. He poses a very real danger for democracy worldwide.

Makes me laugh about Trump's tax cuts....I got lambasted last year, and owed twice as much as usual...
