Any comment that makes a potshot remark about the first sentence in an article, without reading the rest of the paragraph (let alone the article) can be safely thrown straight into the trash.

The article lists its reasons for why they think the economy will accelerate. You might disagree with its conclusions, but it's not dependent on taking the administration's "propaganda" at face value.

>His optimism has foundation. The effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (BBB), a tax-cutting law enacted in July, will soon start to be felt. Americans will receive refunds that reflect retroactive tax cuts on income from 2025. They will also find that levies on monthly earnings have fallen. According to Piper Sandler, an investment bank, these “two years of tax cuts in one” are worth about $191bn.





I read the whole article, and the fact that you assumed otherwise means the rest of your comment can also be safely the thrown straight into the trash.

Why did you put "propaganda" in quotes?

You're still somewhat taking what the administration says at face value. What will be the effect of the BBB? Well, a tax cut, but also no cuts in spending, so an increase in deficits. What's the net effect of that? Is it positive or negative?

My money is net positive... at first. So yeah, maybe 2026 will be good.


I believe both of those first sentences are true.
