  • President-elect Donald Trump says renewing tax cuts would turbo-charge investment and boost US economic growth
  • a pledge that helped propel him to election victory in November.

The article from MSN discusses the potential economic impacts of the tax cuts implemented during the Trump administration. It highlights skepticism regarding the effectiveness of these tax cuts in significantly boosting economic growth. According to the article, while the tax cuts were intended to spur economic activity by reducing corporate tax rates and providing relief to individuals, several analyses suggest that the growth has been less than anticipated. Critics argue that the benefits have largely accrued to corporations and the wealthy, with little trickle-down effect to the broader economy. The piece also mentions that despite initial boosts in business investment, the long-term economic gains have been modest at best, with some economists pointing out that the cuts have contributed to increased federal deficits without delivering the promised economic surge. Furthermore, the article touches on the political debate surrounding these tax policies, with some advocating for their extension while others call for their reversal or modification to address income inequality and fiscal responsibility.
