"Benarkah Indonesia akan mengembalikan segala bantuan yang telah diberikan oleh Australia?". Senadainya itu kan terjadi setidaknya penyusutan dana yang beredar di Indoneisa bisa dikatakan akan terjadi.Okey jika nantinya semua uang bantuan yang telah diberikan oleh Australia dalam waktu dekat oleh Indonesia akan segera dikembalikan semua bisa dibayangkan, artinya dana yang sekarang ada secara tidak langsung akan menyusut, seandainya saja saat ini uang APBN hanya 2000 Triliun Rupiah dan seandainya dibuang ke Australia kurang lebih mencapai 500 triliun Rupiah berarti uang yang tersisah tinggal 1500 triliun rupiah,"apakah dengan dana yang tersisah itu nantinya Indonesia mampuh bisa berbuat lebih, untuk meneruskan kegiatan pembangunan.?". Okey mungkin bagi yang sedang dilanda emosi pasti akan berkata tidak masalah, artinya wajar setiap orang lagi terkena amarah terkadang berkata tidak dipikir lebih matang, mungkin oleh sebab kondisinya pada saat itu bisa dibilang sedang marah, tetapi jika sadar dan merenungkan kembali biasanya ada semacam penyesalan, "seperti halanya ada uang cuma seribu, oleh sebab merasa tersinggung melihat orang makan pisang tidak menawari, akhirnya uang yang hanya seribu dia belikan pisang,akhirnya uang buat naik becak terpakai, dan sadar oleh sebab uangnya tidak ada lagi, terpaksa pulang jalan kaki setelah telah terasa jalan kaki ternyata capai dirumah akhirnya marah-marah,padahal segala capainya dibuat sendiri tetapi mengapa dia harus marah -marah, maksudnya jangan pernah, jika capai dibuat sendiri harus marah pada orang rumah." Demikian andri luntungan pengamat international saat dimintai pandangannya mengenai adanya bahwa Indonesia akan mengembalikan uang pada Australia. Andri juga mengatakan bahwa seandainya benar nantinya indonesia berkeras akan mengembalikan atas bantuan Australi dan negara itu siap menerima pakah nantinya tidak celaka.?.Dan saya juga mendengar katanya ada
Sekelompok orang mengumpulkan dana di Jakarta pada hari Minggu (22 Februari) untuk mengembalikan bantuan Australia bagi korban tsunami Aceh. Sebelumnya Perdana Menteri Tony Abbott mengatakan negaranya selalu siap membantu dan karenanya berharap dua warganya yang terhukum mati karena narkoba akan diampuni.inilah yang saya dengar. Persoalanya bukan itu tetapi seharusnya kedua belah negara bisa saling menghormati, dan tidak perlu saling berkeras dengan kemauan sendiri-sendiri."artinya Indonesia berteman dengan Australia cukup lama dan selama bertahun -tahun tidak pernah terjadi gesekan,tetapi mengapa sekarang harus terjadi gesekan.? Seharusnya kedua belah pihak tidak perlu berselisih dan seharusnya persahabatan terus terjalin, dan didalam persahabatan itu perlu saling melindungi saling menolong dan juga saling bersanding,Persoalanya sekarang tinggal menyadari apa artinya sebuah kehidupan, Seperti halanya jika ana pernah membaca kisah nabi ayub, yang telah diuji oleh setan atau Iblis, dan ketika iblis kesal tidak mamp[uh lagi mengoda Nabi ayub akhirnya mencoba akan mengambil nyawa, tetapi apa Jawab Tuhan, urusan nyawa bukan urusanmu.Enyalah setan atau Iblis. artinya jelas bahwa nyawa adalah milik Tuhan dan manusia tidak punya Hak buat mengambilnya, artinya manusia yang hidup tidak punya Hak buat menghilangkan nyawa sesamanya.Cetusnya. dan andri juga hanya bia mengharapakan kedua pemimpin itu segera bisa kembali menjalin persahabatan seperti sedia kala."Seandainya terus menerus terjadi perselisihan tidak menutup kemungkinan kedepannya akan sulit dikendalikan.Katanya
The latest Employment Situation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows weekly employee earnings have grown $75 since tax reform passed, well short of the $4,000 to $9,000 annual increases projected by President Trump

During the three months following passage of the tax bill, the average American saw a $6.21 increase in average weekly earnings. Assuming 12 weeks of work during the three months following passage of the corporate tax cuts, this equates to a $75 increase.
Assuming a full 52 weeks of work, the $6.21 increase in weekly earnings would result in a $323 annual increase, nowhere near the minimum $4,000 promised and $9,000 potential annual increases projected by President Trump and Speaker Ryan if significant cuts were made to corporate tax rates.
Unless something drastically changes, it seems that Americans are going to have to settle for much less than the $4,000 to $9,000 projected wage increases. An extra $322 a year isn’t going to do much to pay down the $1 trillion in additional debt they are projected to take on as a result of the tax cuts.
Yet, a key part of the argument for the recently passed corporate tax cuts and more than a trillion dollars in debt was the substantial wage hike promised by the president’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA).
From a document titled, “Corporate Tax Reform and Wages: Theory and Evidence,” on the White House’s website:
“Reducing the statutory federal corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent would, the analysis below suggests, increase average household income in the United States by, very conservatively, $4,000 annually.”
The document goes on to say:
“When we use the more optimistic estimates from the literature, wage boosts are over $9,000 for the average U.S. household.”
No less than Speaker Ryan’s website trumpeted the Council of Economic Advisers report claiming that on average, the proposed corporate tax cuts would result in at least a $4,000 annual increase in wages.
Now, some supporters of the tax bill may say this analysis is unfair because it is too early for the effects of the tax bill to show up in wages. By that logic, they also shouldn’t take credit for reported employment growth increases.
Still others may point to the $1,000 bonuses announced by some companies shortly after passage of the tax bill. First, that is significantly less than the promised $4,000 to $9,000. Second, these are not wage increases; these are one-time bonuses.
Will companies pay them again, and if so when? Third, the $1,000 represents a fraction of the estimated potential company tax savings.
Using 2016 net income, 2016 effective tax rates, the new 21-percent corporate tax rate and company bonuses, we estimated company bonuses as a percentage of a number of company’s potential tax savings. The results: In many cases, the bonuses represent a mere pittance of the possible tax savings.
Navient announced that it would be giving $1,000 bonuses to 98 percent of its 6,7000 employees, paying out nearly $7 million in bonuses. While that may seem generous, it pales in comparison to Navient’s potential tax savings.
Using Navient’s 2016 net income, its 2016 effective tax rate, estimated annual tax savings of nearly $200 million and its announced bonuses, we calculated that the announced bonuses represent less than 4 percent of Navient’s potential tax savings.
Turning to the airline industry, JetBlue’s employees might be feeling blue if they realized that their $1,000 bonuses are estimated to be less than 10 percent of JetBlue’s potential tax savings, while American Airlines’ bonuses are estimated to represent less than 15 percent of its estimated potential annual tax savings
Not to be outdone, Comcast’s bonuses represent less than 8 percent of its estimated potential annual tax savings, while Walmart appears downright generous, giving an estimated $0.16 of every dollar of its estimated potential annual tax savings to employees in the form of bonuses.

What happened to the minimum $4,000 promised? I guess like many promises by politicians, they were empty. Instead, they seem to have gone to share buybacks. For the period December 2017 through February 2018, share buybacks more than doubled to $200 million.
Is a $323 wage increase and a one-time bonus of $1,000 that represents a fraction of estimated potential company tax savings worth the more than $1 trillion in additional debt placed on Americans? Is this the best Congress could do? No.
Instead, Congress could have simply made each company’s tax cut contingent on each company increasing wages. The problem is that some companies receiving tax cuts didn’t raise wages.
If Congress had made each company’s tax cut contingent on each company’s wage increases, the American people would have gotten more bang for their tax cut bucks. Additionally, this would have created a real incentive for companies to raise wages: Increase wages, get a tax cut; don’t and you won’t.
If the justification for saddling the American people with at least $1 trillion in additional debt was greater wage growth, tax cuts should have been tied to each company’s wage growth; that’s just logical. That’s getting a better deal for the American people, and that’s getting a better return on investment.
