P2. In late December 2017, Congress passed, and President Trump
signed, a massive overhaul of the tax laws that took effect in
January. Last week, the Congressional Budget Office reported that
America’s deficit is rising sharply and will surpass $1 trillion
per year in just two years, a change they attributed to Congress
cutting taxes and increasing spending, The CBO also said the
federal deficit will hit $804 billion in fiscal 2018, up 21 percent
from 2017. Use your models...

Last year, President Bush granted a tax-cut check to all income
tax filers. In doing so, it was reported that he thought that at
least 30% of the households would use the tax-cut check to increase
spending. According to a report by the University of Michigan
Research Center (Wall Street Journal, Feb. 26, 2002), 220 of the
1000 people surveyed said that the 2001 tax-cut check they received
has led them to increase spending.

A new tax cut law was passed on December 22, 2017. From
that time until September 2019, the U.S. Census Bureau reported

the Median U.S. household income, which hardly moved from 2007 to
2016 (range $58,149 to $59,039), shot upward within 20 months to
$63,179 as of September 2019. Everything said up to this point is...

The Republican tax cut has been in the news. The tax cut which,
on net, is set to increase the deficit by $1.5 trillion over the

already essentially at potential with unemployment at 4.1%. Assume
