“Everything that is broken today can be fixed, and every failure can be turned into a great success”, Trump said in his speech to the Economic Club of NY.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump predicted on Thursday that the Federal Reserve will keep United States interest rates low throughout the rest of this year, perhaps even without an increase at all.
On Wednesday, Vice News announced it was suing the IRS for audits of Trump’s tax returns.
“I think you’re going to have low interest rates until the end of the year, maybe no increase at all”.
Reid said that with his good eye, he sees that Trump inherited his money but pretends he earned it.
Trump unveiled a plan on Thursday for $4.4 trillion in tax cuts, offering less generous tax breaks than his original $10 trillion plan but proposing to cut the current top rate for the wealthiest taxpayers. Trump wants to cap tax deductions at $100,000 for single filers and $200,000 for married couples. Trump said his plan would not add to the federal deficit. He said it would slash the country’s tax burden by $4.4 trillion over 10 years.
Trump also offered a “Penny Plan” for cutting federal spending. His proposal would shave 1 percent off the government’s discretionary, nondefense spending each year. This came a month after Trump said his team was “working on” releasing the returns.
“My plan will embrace the truth that people flourish under a minimum government burden and will tap into the incredible, unrealized potential of our workers and their dreams”, Trump said in a speech to the Economic Club of NY.
“Everything that is broken today can be fixed, and every failure can be turned into a great success”, said Trump, who will face Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November 8 election.
Still, the Associated Press notes that the USA economy is already creating 2.5 million jobs a year – which is the same pace Trump has promise. Trump set 4% as a goal for economic growth, in a message reminiscent of that of his former Republican rival Jeb Bush.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign attacked Trump’s plan as a benefit for him, not for workers. The economy grew 2.4 per cent previous year.
Paul Ryan said Thursday that Donald Trump should release his tax returns and pointed to his own decision to do it four years ago when he was the GOP vice presidential nominee.
“It doesn’t square”, Cass said.
The worst element of Trump’s economic plan is something that is missing from it. Trump’s continued refusal to deal with the coming entitlement crisis, and his failure to present a credible fiscal plan, is inexcusable.
For months, the official talking point of the Trump campaign has been that Donald Trump would be happy to release his tax returns but cannot because they are under audit.Trump’s economic plan includes a variety of tax cuts, such as a reduction of the top corporate income tax from 35 percent to 15 percent.Trump’s economic team estimated that the savings from trade, energy, and regulation reforms would save about $1.8 trillion.His campaign said he would also call for an “immediate halt” to new federal regulations and a “very thorough” agency-level review of existing regulations to determine what to scrap.During a question-and-answer session with a moderator, Trump cast the nation’s current economy in gloomy terms, and described the election as a “last chance” to prevent the United States from becoming a “large-scale version of Venezuela”.

He vowed to not cut defense spending and to exempt Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from any reductions.
