“Crumbs.” That’s what Democrats call the pay hikes, 401(k) increases, and bonuses being given out to millions of working Americans, thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. To date, nearly 300 U.S. employers have publicly announced such investments in their workers.

And yet the Democratic establishment remains unamused. Weeks ago, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., infamously referred to $1,000 in extra salary as “crumbs,” only to double down on the term in recent days. She even described Americans’ tax savings as a “little piece of cheese” in a “little mouse trap” (set, presumably, by Republicans).
