any non-paywall link?
You can get around paywalls with outline.com (where you just copy paste the URL) or by searching for the article from Google and clicking the link in search results.

Article is a fluff piece and provides zero support for its thesis.
Any of that growth gonna trickle down to workers or nahh?
Of course not, and why should it, all of the growth is entirely attributable to the tax cut. <sarcasm>
I always find it interesting/dismaying how quickly people think the economy can react to changes in policy. For a single family, a change in economic status, such as a new job, pay rise, etc. takes at least many months or years to have a meaningful effect on debt and financial health of that family. A giant economy would take much longer, a few years at minimum, so see the true effects. It’s like steering a giant ship in the water; you can’t make changes and expect it to immediately have an effect. Any benefits we see right now are either a result of the previous administration’s policies, or in the case of the stock market, pricing of future expected gains already made in the market.
