The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-27) accelerated EGTRRA's individual income-tax rate cuts so they took effect immediately rather than phasing in by 2006, cut the long-term capital-gains rate to 15% and applied that same rate to qualified dividends, raised the AMT exemption, expanded section 179 small-business expensing, and authorized 50% bonus depreciation through 2004. The act constituted the second major Bush-era tax-cut package.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
