Trump's New Tax Cuts Could Shower Americans With Cash, for Now

1 month ago | nytimes.com | Andy Duehren

Almost all of the cuts that Republicans hope to pass in the coming weeks will last only until President Trump is set to leave office. The strategy is an old one for Republicans: Cut taxes for a few years, avoiding the need to account for their cost over the long term, and bet that the reductions become popular enough that Congress will later vote to continue them. The tax bill that Republicans are now putting together on Capitol Hill takes the gambit to a whole new level.

House Republicans are planning to include several of President Trump's campaign promises in the first draft of the bill, which they hope to release soon.

In a social media post, and again in remarks to reporters, Mr. Trump suggested the United States could stop taxing income under $200,000 and instead rely on revenue from his extensive tariffs.
