White House: Trump 'looking at tax cuts again,' but economy going strong
By Naomi Jagoda - 08/20/19 01:03 PM EDT
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said Tuesday that President Trump is looking at a new round tax cuts, but dismissed the idea that the administration is trying to counteract a looming economic slowdown.
In an interview on Fox News, Gidley argued that the economy is doing well and that discussions of tax cuts are about giving people back their money.
“What I can tell you is the same thing [White House economic adviser] Larry Kudlow said and the same thing that the president of the United States has said, that he’s looking at tax cuts again. We think that spurs on this economic expansion," Gildley said on “America’s Newsroom.â€
He added that a payroll tax cut is "not being considered at this time, but he’s looking at all options out there to try and give people back so much fo the hard-earned money they’ve made."
