        GOP and @PRyan can't do arithmetic. Even at 30K a year, a $1.50 week "raise" amounts to 0.25%, eaten up by inflation long before she steps into @Costco! 🍰

        @SpeakerRyan @POTUS One time BONUS of $1000 is $1000 over any time period. $1.50 pay raise is $2,880 for a year, $28,880 over 10yrs for an employee! Speaker Ryan got it right even if he’s too stupid to explain why.

        Thank you @jayshi2105 for the accurate numbers. If someone were to save that extra $1.50 for the entire YEAR, they could buy a new, shiny calculator.

        What can you buy with a $1.50 extra per week? A pack of Tic-Tacs. Maybe a can of Spam. What can a millionaire buy with his tax decrease? A Porsche or jet. He could buy his own restaurant. Ah, thanks @SpeakerRyan

        Well by all means do it again next year so that secretary can afford a Costco hotdog each week as well. Living the dream. Fools and their money, future, freedom, and dreams are soon parted.
