In a June 29 interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin said because of the bill "the average household of four is going to bring home pay over $10,000 more a year this year than they did last year." Days prior, Trump, at a June 26 White House event, said the bill would immediately "increase take-home pay for the normal family of four by at least $13,000." But both men appear to be cherry-picking from the high end of an optimistic range of estimates made by the White House's own Council of Economic Advisers.
