The real question is, and my point was, that the very wealthiest in the country and corporate tax rate cuts were made permanent, but not the tax cuts for the middle and lower classes. Why is that, do you think?
I could see if it were to raise the GDP growth rate, which would generally benefit everyone, but that isn't what happened. Plus, it added another $1.9 trillion to the debt over 10 years. The top end and most of the corporate cuts were just another failed trickle down attempt. My more cynical side believes they were more about political pay-back than a true attempt at growth. A more serious attempt at growth would be more tax cuts for middle America, that huge group which spends the most. Another transfer of wealth to the top end, to be squirreled away, is not the way for an economy to grow. Most of the corporate tax breaks went towards stock buybacks and increased executive compensation and wasn't invested in business growth. Trickle down has never trickled very far down.
