Mnuchin downplays Trump's talk of middle-class tax cut

By Naomi Jagoda - 12/18/18 05:30 PM EST 

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday downplayed the chances for a middle-class tax cut like the one President Trump called for in the weeks before November's midterm elections.

“I’m not going to comment on whether it is a real thing or not a real thing,” Mnuchin said in an interview with Bloomberg. “I’m saying for the moment we have other things we’re focused on.”

Trump in October said he was planning to propose a 10-percent tax cut for middle-class families – remarks that took many in Washington by surprise at the time.

Honestly, I don't want some lame tax cut.  I want real reform.  But no one in DC -- Trump and the Republicans included -- really wants that. 

More lies and broken oromises.

If we don't cut spending our standard of living is going to be further destroyed regardless of taxes. We've been spending our future and you can't do that indefinitely.
