Well this bill is dubious at best.

Not only that "trickle down" has never ever worked in the past, simply since the primary allegiance of corporations is towards its shareholders, not to its employees or local economy.

So any freed money will likely not end up on the street, but are more likely to further overheat the stock market.

There are some solid parts such as adding to a child tax credit, increasing the tax rate for the US corporate profits held overseas, but all and all - it's difficult to imagine this to have a positive effect.

Also, perhaps the single biggest issue is that it's majorly complicated - a 479 page bill voted in in this last minute fashion is not a good sign at all.
