If it results in us getting better trade terms in the future it is worth it, and will pay for itself back.

I am merely pointing out the scale. How much trade do we do a month on average, and how much is $3 billion with regards to that.

Thanks for a rational response. The "If" reminds me of the "If" in the possibility of a business boom resulting from the GOP tax give away.

That resulted in a massive stock buy back....rather than business expansion.

But again....thank you for a reasonable response.

Stock buybacks encourage businesses to increase dividends, which helps the remaining outside stockholders as well as the company stockholders.

It also gives companies the ability in the future to re-sell the stock for expansion purposes, and at a "profit" if they can manage to increase their stock value.

It went up for the CEO and other top people in the company too. Doesn't leave money for increased wages though. And we have seen that.

Wages are still very stagnant especially given how low unemployment is. Dems will gladly point out the cuts went right to the wealthy.
