A growing list of over 250 companies have joined Disney, Starbucks, Verizon, FedEx, and JP Morgan Chase in rewarding their workers.

The companies have credited the GOP/Trump tax changes for plans to offer bonuses of up to $3,000, increases in retirement plans, wage hikes and even adoption benefits.

But Democrats are trying everything they can to downplay the resulting boon.

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed Thursday that $1,000 bonuses from companies do not go "very far" for middle-class workers.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who had called the GOP tax plan, "Frankenstein," the "worst bill" ever, and predicted an "Armageddon"-style "end of the world," called the recent bonuses to workers “crumbs.”
