# 2017 US tax reform and Republican economic agenda

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, is a United States federal law that amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and also known as the Trump Tax Cuts, but officially the law has no short title, with that being removed during the Senate amendment process. The New York Times described the TCJA as "the most sweeping tax overhaul in decades". Studies show that the TCJA worsened federal debt and increased after-tax incomes, disproportionately raising incomes for the most affluent.
