Billions of dollars of American currency formerly overseas is now flowing back into the United States following the GOP-sponsored tax cuts, according to Fox Business and new statistics released this week.
The data shows over $300 billion was repatriated back to the United States in the first quarter of 2018; beginning just weeks after the President signed the sweeping overhaul of the nation’s outdated tax code into law.
“The [Bureau of Economic Analysis] notes the main driver of the repatriation surge is that companies are no longer taxed on foreign earnings when returning the funds to the U.S,” writes Fox.
“U.S. firms that used to build their factories overseas in order to avoid U.S. taxes, they stopped in their tracks because of the tax bill, they are bringing all the money home,” said Kevin Hassett, chair of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers.
