Short term, it may well be a windfall for the economy. Long term, what about the gigantic deficits created by the lower tax revenues?

For me, the biggest problem with the tax plan was that the IRS lowered withholdings without letting anyone know. I'm one of the lucky few who's tax rate actually increased (a very small percentage got screwed, and lucky me, I'm one of them!), but my withholding was decreased, so I ended up owing a lot more. In fact, since I didn't withhold enough, I also got socked with a nearly $900 penalty. I think Trump is a venal, dangerous, toxic nitwit, but my feelings toward him dipped even more when I wrote out the check for over $8000 to the IRS.
