In the next couple of years, a decent amount of people (specifically Trump's base and the super rich) will see at least a modest decrease in taxes.

But down the road the tax breaks will cease. Insurance premiums will be up. And we will again see that rich people getting massive tax breaks does not magically increase jobs or wages. 

Perhaps the GOP is banking on that coming post 2020? They might be hedging bets that they can either a) fix it if they maintain control of Congress/presidency or b) let it explode while the Dems are in control.

That is what I have been surmising.

Pass the buck down the road and when the rubes catch on enough to vote in the other party the DEMOCRATS will get blamed for raising taxes to fix the problem.  then the GOP uses that to show how the Democrats don't care about the little guy.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
