Fact check: Trump's tax cut isn't "the biggest" in U.S. history. It's not even bigger than the two tax cuts passed under Obama. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/factcheck/ct-trump-tax-cut-claim-fact-check-20171101-story.html

One cut lowered the 15% rate to 10% and one shaved 2 percentage points form the Social Security/Medicare taxes. Both cuts were temporary and during his first term so people have forgotten about them.

a tax cut now is insane.
