The tax bill ironically appears to encourage outsourcing by any company big enough to do it by making the minimum corporate rate 10 percent (theoretically to encourage Apple to bring billions home) in certain circumstances and letting companies average their income/taxes over all offshore affiliates. http://theweek.com/articles/743632/gop-tax-bills-biggest-boo...

I realize you aren't OP but I do understand the "making America great again" getting him votes by saying he's bringing back jobs. However, that's a political response that deflects from the real issues at hand.

What I am curious about is the quantitative easing we witnessed due to the 2008 Financial & Housing crisis and how that is being handled both in the economy and the governments around the world. The Fed interest rate is still at a historic low having just recently bumped to 1.5% [1]. For instance one of the view points I've heard is that Trump is trying to deregulate as much as possible in order to avoid the economy crashing. Maybe that a makes a correction from QE worse in the future. Maybe Trump is indeed just trying to siphon as much money/tax breaks as possible but I'm curious about the macro economics currently in play from different world viewpoints.

The developed world mostly started following USA with QE+bailout based currency supply policy.

Now that USA is playing a different game the rest will probably follow that too.

It's just that the USA is ahead of the game again.

No, actually, this extreme shortsightedness is the issue at hand.
