"The Republican tax law contains disastrous consequences for the US
economy, which is ill-equipped for upcoming surprises, says former
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. 'What we've seen is a tax cut that spends
money we don't have to have very concentrated benefits for global
corporations and the top 1%, and it's leaving us broke,' he says." (Retirement Security Smartbrief, Jan. 3, 2018).
“The next shoe to drop is going to be an attack on the most vulnerable
in our society,” Lew said. “How are we going to pay for the deficit
caused by the tax cut? We are going to see proposals to cut health
insurance for poor people, to take basic food support away from poor
people, to attack Medicare and Social Security. One could not have made
up a more cynical strategy.”Read the details at Bloomberg politics: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-02/former-treasury-secretary-lew-says-tax-cuts-leaving-u-s-broke
