In other words, on an out-of-the-gate judgment, the new tax law is a windfall of varying degrees for most people, meaning that it puts extra money into the economy (the extra money in the economy is projected to end up boosting our Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, by between .4 and .6% ).2 We may argue over who’s getting how much of the economic pie, but we’re…
