  • President Trump achieved a major political victory with the approval of his mega tax reform.
  • The law reduces taxes for the rich and subsidies for low incomes.
  • Defense and immigration policy spending will be increased, and there will be cuts in social programs and expenses.
  • The legislation will add about 3.3 trillion dollars to a federal debt that already reaches 37 trillion dollars.
  • 60% of the benefits will benefit those who earn $217,000 or more a year.
  • The law is facing severe criticisms, as it is pointed out that it privileges the rich at the expense of the poor and vulnerable.
  • States will have to make difficult decisions in the face of reductions in federal support for social programs.

Conclusion: While Trump's tax reform represents a political victory for him, it raises concerns about long-term economic impact and the deepening of the inequality gap in the United States.
