The following is my understanding. While I believe the numbers given are about right, check before using. The tax cuts described are as the thing was passed, with the expectation that Congress will make the middle class cuts permanent eventually. I note Democrats are treating the middle class cuts as not there, evidently to trick folk into supporting just repealing it all: more money for the government, less for everyone else. That is not honest. Anyhow: The administration has done several things that helped the economy: * Regulations reduced all over the government to allow businesses to operate with less red tape. Some agencies downsized also, same motivation. * Tax cut. Gave everybody a couple thousand $ to stimulate spending. Also cut corporate tax rates. This last is not a giveaway to big companies: they were not paying the high rates, but they kept money outside the US. Those trillions of dollars did the US economy NO good whatever. Making US tax rates comparable with rest of the world, plus pressure by administration, is bringing trillions back into the US where the money will benefit us. * Official and unofficial pressure on loads of companies to get them to build factories in the US and build products here. This is to enable the US to have the ability to produce anything. Otherwise it risks becoming a client economy to other places. * Pressure to reduce illegal immigration, to cut crime costs and to ensure that added jobs go to US citizens. Remember under Obama that a large fraction (don't recall exact fraction...think it was around 40% at least for some groups) of kids graduating from school were living with parents, not able to find work. That is now pretty well gone. This has worked: * Number of jobs looking for people is now more than the number of people looking for jobs. Under Obama there was a huge population who had given up on finding work, and jobs were scarce. No more. * Unemployment among blacks and hispanics is at record lows. (Everybody else, too.) * Look at historical figures, you see that the turnaround happened at the time of inauguration. Capital spending and purchases show steady decline during 2016 until election, then there is a sharp change of direction and they have been growing ever since.
