I disagree that the "tax cuts" are what's revving the economy, but it's an empirical fact that the economy continues to grow at a health rate, as it has been for the past eight or so years. And all too often, it seems, voters react to that and not to the many other important aspects of governance (like, oh, I don't know, separating children from their parents, fomenting climate change, or starting trade wars with our closest allies).
