This is the single best way to make American manufacturing great again.

Imagine an America where strength, prosperity, and peace are not just hopeful ideals but lived realities—where the American worker is supported, economic growth is encouraged, and manufacturing is our superpower. 

This vision requires a serious policy commitment that Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration are working to deliver. Congress must act now to continue President Donald Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to give American businesses the certainty they need to invest, hire, and grow. 

The expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would be detrimental to American businesses, manufacturers, consumers, and families. If Congress does not act to ensure President Donald Trump’s successful tax plan stays in place, taxes will go up for Americans at every income level. The average American would see a tax hike of 22 percent, over $1,600.

PRICE TAG: HOW MUCH AMERICANS COULD PAY BETWEEN TARIFFS AND TAX CUTS EXPIRING

A recent National Association of Manufacturers study indicated that failing to preserve these tax reforms will cost America 6 million jobs, $540 million in wages, and our economy will suffer a $1.1 trillion hit.

When President Trump signed the 2017 tax cuts into law, it was rocket fuel for manufacturing in America and a win for every American worker. The year 2018 was the best for manufacturing job creation in the last 21 years. We had higher wages, enhanced benefits, and record-breaking investments in new plants. These critical tax reform provisions have already begun to sunset, and more are set to expire at the end of 2025—the rocket is running out of fuel.   

Provisions like full expensing allow businesses that frequently buy machinery, tools, and other factory upgrades, to immediately deduct the cost of those purchases in the same year. These businesses can then use that freed up cash they would otherwise pay in taxes to reinvest in more equipment and higher wages for their workers. 

Keeping another provision, Section 199A, would continue a 20 percent deduction for 26 million American small businesses. An Ernst and Young study in 2024 showed that 2.6 million jobs were supported by this provision, and that it added $325 billion to America’s economy and $161 billion to workers’ pay. 

These are just two examples of President Trump’s pro-growth, pro-America, and pro-manufacturing tax cuts. Protecting them will be at the heart of Republicans’ agenda this year, safeguarding Americans’ way of life.
