Businesses don't just invest in new plants two weeks after a tax cut passed and right before the holidays.

It takes studies, business cases, sales projects, etc to make decisions like that.

To say nothing of the fact that businesses won't do a dang thing until they see DEMAND increase. They may invest in upgrading aging equipment but they won't increase production without increased sales.
