Numbers do not lie. Politics and poetry and promises, these are lies. Numbers are as close as we get to the handwriting of God.

I'm a numbers guy and started a rough draft of a 9-6-4-4 vs C2000. Here's what I have:

2018 Compensation position vs C2000

+25% raise
+16% Profit sharing(based on 2014 bonus)
-6% inflation(2% per year compounded)
-3% Profit Sharing Reduction

• +32%
• 47%(C2000+inflation)-32%

Result: 15% short in Buying Power in 2018

*Info needed
Profit sharing % estimate for $6 billion and $10 billion profit
True percentage cost of profit sharing reduction. Numbers thrown out so far have been 2.6/2.7% and 5%.
