Not more than pre-tax cut trend. The critique was always that companies aren't hurting for cash so a tax cut is pointless and will only balloon the deficit. That's exactly what has happened. We gained nothing but a shorter debt bomb fuse.

Outside of the normal trend, yeah. There isn't much growth difference than pre-tax treatment.

The national deficit is the highest it's been since the recession though, and growing faster than before.

At least during the recession when our tax money was given to corporations, there were strings attached. Now it's all stock buybacks to fight the shrinking market, brought on by the stupid trade war.

Two companies in two weeks have announced 10,000+ layoffs. Rumor is Ford is about to as well.
