This is the wrong time for a tax cut

Gov. Kim Reynolds is championing a tax cut for Iowans.
It should be obvious to everyone that this is the wrong time for a tax cut. The federal tax cuts will put more money in most of our pockets. Some believe that will boost our economy. I don't, but regardless with the federal tax cuts, there will be less federal support to the state and less support of federal programs that care for our disadvantaged. I'm concerned about funding of schools, courts and medical services, let alone social programs.
This is the wrong time for a tax cut.
