A tightening campaign that started in December, 2015 and has totaled 2.25% has basically offset the boost from tax cuts and the tightening also succeeded in flattening the yield curve. Dorothy has been with Penn Community Bank and its predecessor since November, 2004.

Corporate and personal tax cuts were promised, with the corporate rate dropping from 35% to 15%. I saw an estimate that 50% of the effect of tax cuts flows through to growth in the first eighteen months. In the early 1980s, the Reagan tax cuts took two years to push GDP growth above 3.0%

The markets believe the chance of tax hikes, repeals of tax cuts, and gigantic initiatives are greatly diminished.
