President-elect Trump and Republican lawmakers are gearing up to push a massive tax-cut bill through Congress next year .

But they will face pressure to find ways to cover the costs of the tax cuts.

Trump ’s campaign pitch for the economy centered on tariffs, a key pillar of his economic agenda.

A tax deal that passed the House with wide bipartisan support earlier this year failed to make it through the Senate over the summer due to Republican opposition.

A common Republican argument in Washington about tax cuts is that they pay for themselves because they spur economic growth.

In 2019 , the Congressional Research Service estimated the 2017 Trump tax cuts achieved only 5 percent or less of the growth needed to fully make up for the loss of revenue.
