AT&T Announces Bonuses!!!!!!!

Evidently, last year after making 2.4 BILLION in profits, AT&T could not afford bonuses.

But hey, now that Republicans gave them this huge gift, they announce $1000 bonuses to its employees.

I am sure all the feeble minded Trumpettes think this means their party leaders & their Orange Exalted One did not lie.

1) This is a reward to help Republicans not look like the corp dick suckers they are.

2) Giving that bonus this years means they can deduct it thusly saving 35% (top rate). If they wait until next year, they can deduct it & only save 21%.
SO the fuck what?

It's none of your business what any company gives out in bonuses
Moron... it’s the public’s business when said company publicly announces the bonuses.

No it's really not. Those announcements are for shareholders so if you're not a shareholder it really has no effect on you therefore it is none of your business and you have no need to whine about it

If it was for the shareholders, AT&T actually has contact information for them & can communicate directly.

'You can't be so freakin stupid not to know the announcement was all about the Tax Cut bill to thank the Republicans for bowing to their lobbying demands.

Moron... they made the announcement public. They didn’t have to do that for shareholders, who could have been informed privately.

Make an announcement to the public and it becomes the public’s business.

No not really.

There's all kinds of shit announced publicly that has nothing to do with you that are none of your business. BUt you just like to whine I guess
Moron... pointing out you’re a moron who doesn’t understand it’s the public’s business when the public is given information, is not whining.

Real Dave was whining from the first word of this thread it's just that other chronic whiners can't tell

It is when I am paying for it.
You're not. Unless you own At&T
The federal deficit increased in order to give AT&T their tax cut which they credited fore the bonus. SO Yes I am paying for it.

That's awful! You should push for spending cuts.
 
He fixed it by June 2009, how exactly?

ARRA for one. It sped up the end of the official recession & helped bring back jobs.

ARRA for one.

Must have spent a couple of billion by June 2009, eh? LOL!
So,you are now claiming nothing of the ARRA was spent prior to June 2009?

And of course, being the fucking economic genius that you are, you say after June of 2009, no action was needed because the recession was officially over.


You are the dumbest person ever to claim being an econ expert..

So,you are now claiming nothing of the ARRA was spent prior to June 2009?

Enlighten me. How much was spent prior to June 2009?

you say after June of 2009, no action was needed because the recession was officially over.

Well, any action taken after June 2009 can't be said to have "saved us from a depression"....

unless you're a lying sack of shit.........or at least a moron.
”you say after June of 2009, no action was needed because the recession was officially over.”

Where did he say that...?

No you're not just like you're not paying for the debt Obammy increased

We all pay for the debt.

Obama decreased the deficit. Blaming Obama for the debt created by the Bush recession, Bush tax cuts, Bush's two unfunded quagmire wars & Bush's unfunded massive expansion to Medicare is typical of you deniers.

You IDIOT deficits increase the debt because we borrow money to fund the deficit spending. And did the debt increase or decrease in Obammy's 8 year run?
It increased about 85%. About the same percentage of increase as Bush and less than Reagan.

It increased about 85%. About the same percentage of increase as Bush and less than Reagan.

Bush added $4.9 trillion. Obama added $9.3 trillion.
Which one is worse?

Since the tax cut is being financed by public debt, taxpayers are in fact paying for it.

Bush by far. Bush inherited a surplus and turned it into a huge deficit. He inherited strong job creation and turned it into the the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Obama inherited a huge deficit AND a totally crashed economy shedding jobs at the rate of 500,000 per month and turned it into a record setting economy.

Republicans are doing everything possible to destroy the Obama recovery and restore the economy to W’s outcome.

Nominal figure-wise, $9.3t is a bigger number than $4.9t. But in reality, it’s not the size of the debt which matters, it’s the size of the service on the debt which does. Interest rates were lower under Obama than they were under Bush. Then you have to calculate using real figures on that debt service and also factor in the percentage of GDP.

You’re also ignoring the reality that Bush inherited an economy with a federal annual deficit of about $133b while Obama inherited an economy in a deep recession with federal annual deficit far exceeding a trillion dollars. And you’re ignoring that Bush inherited a projected 10 year surplus of $6 trillion, but instead, increased the debt by $5 trillion AND left office with a ten year projection of increasing the debt another $8 trillion.

In reality, how large a check do I write for each, in reality?

You're right, low interest rates (and Federal Reserve profits) stopped Obama's addition to the debt from breaking $10 trillion.

If the real estate bubble continued thru March 2009, what would the Bush "projected 10 year surplus" have been?

Paying off the debt is not the issue. If you borrow money at 0% interest, paying it back costs you nothing. It’s the interest on the debt that matters. Debt service was lower under Obama than it was Bush, so you can’t simply compare nominal figures of $4.9t debt versus $9.3t.

Even if the monthly interest charge is zero.
