When Republicans passed the one big, beautiful bill, they promised Americans that their tax refunds would grow by $1,000 on average. Well, the results are in. And the massive tax relief Republicans promised has turned out to be a dud. Refunds on average have changed only by a third, about $350. And Americans need every penny they can get.
