Like the $1.5trillion tax cut that had "no major impact on businesses' capital investment"?

God damn I hate the media. Nowhere, and I mean nowhere in that article does it clearly state that's $1.5T over 10 years.

So in fact, it's a $150B tax cut annually. For a $3.7T budget that's costing about 4%.
