Have not studied it thoroughly yet, but I don't think this analysis takes into account all the many side-effect costs to lower and middle class taxpayers. And, that does not include all the costs to us due to tRump's destruction of normal government functions.

Repugs, in their typical sinister way, push the effects on their base down the road to a point that all will have forgotten what the origin of it was.
