Federal Reserve raised the benchmark lending rate for the third time last year, also showed officials believe the likely benefits of the recently adopted tax cut are highly uncertain.
While the tax cuts could boost spending, there are indications companies are likely to use the windfall for mergers and share buybacks, the minutes said. That is contrary to the arguments its supporters used to back the massive tax package.

This is the correct professional views that Trump's massive tax cut is to benefit himself, his business empires and his lobbyists.

Donald Trump is not doing it to benefit the Nation.

For the last 40 years, such "Economy trickle down" policies has not worked.

Donald Trump know that, and he still force the tax code through --- because he will reap the windfall - at the expense of middle class and lower class Americans.

Donald Trump and his supporters - will pocket all the windfall.

American's middle income, lower income and future descendants will have to bear the big burden of mammoth debt of US$21.4 trillion to service.

Donald Trump and his supporters are laughing all the way to the bank.
