100%, my CPA ran my numbers from this year using next years guide program and I got a significant cut. In fact when we did my taxes he said he had already done dozens of returns and out of all of them, only around 3-4 saw a rise and in those cases it was nominal enough to be called flat. He is the best and he showed me my numbers, it was a pleasant surprise.

But Americans likely won?t see a big difference in their tax returns this spring; the proposed cuts in the bill will show up when most people file in 2019.
?When they?ll really see the difference is a year from March and April,? said Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

True I won't see immediately (will when i file in 2019) but many will now because of lower withholding requirements implemented currently....
Paycheck bump coming soon -- here?s how much you can expect
New IRS federal tax-withholding guidelines should give millions of Americans higher paychecks in 2018.
An example of how this will affect workers' paychecks
Let's say that you're a single taxpayer and you earn $50,000 per year, paid biweekly. For each pay period, you earn $1,923.08 before any taxes are withheld. When you filled out your employment paperwork, you claimed two allowances.
First, we'll do the calculation based on the 2017 withholding tables, which are found in IRS Publication 15. For each withholding in 2017, a biweekly paid employee's wages are reduced by $155.80. This reduces the $1,923.08 figure to $1,611.48, which is the number used to determine your withholding. Using the 2017 withholding tables, $264.53 should have been withheld from each of your paychecks for federal income taxes. (Note: If you're calculating your own, you can probably skip this entire step. Just look on your recent pay stub to see how much is being withheld for federal taxes.)
Now we'll use the 2018 tables. In 2018, each allowance reduces your wages for withholding purposes by $159.60, so your income is reduced to $1,603.88. Using this amount along with the 2018 withholding tables based on the new tax brackets, we find that your per-paycheck withholding should drop to $168.09. Your paychecks should go up by about $96.44 because of the lower federal withholding called for by the tax-law changes.

This is way off topic, need to move to the tax thread. This is distracting from my war drums.

Another California city has joined the fight against the state's sanctuary city laws, which limit local authorities' ability to investigate illegal immigrants' status and communicate with federal immigration officals.

This is not the narrative we are supposed to believe...
'Sanctuary Cities' Get A Big Thumbs Down, Even From Hispanics: IBD/TIPP Poll
Nearly two-thirds of the public oppose "sanctuary cities." Less than a third say they back the policy, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll.
The IBD/TIPP poll asked about support for a policy in which "some cities in the U.S. do not report illegal immigrants who commit crimes to federal immigration authorities."
It found that 64% oppose the policy, with just 31% supporting it.
More interesting, while just 16% strongly support sanctuary cities, 45% strongly oppose the policy.
Every one of the 41 demographic groups broken out by the IBD/TIPP poll opposes this policy, except for Democrats (only 44% oppose) it, liberals (38% oppose) and those between 18 and 24 (48% of whom oppose this policy).
The strongest opposition comes from investors (71%), married women (70%), conservatives (79%), Gen-Xers (74%) and young boomers (72%).
Even Hispanics oppose this policy by a 57% to 39% margin.
