Trump to deliver one of biggest tax cuts since Reagan, aide says

And the biggest deficits. It'll be YUUUUGE!!!

Donald Trump will propose one of the biggest tax cuts since the days of Ronald Reagan in a new economic blueprint to be unveiled next week, according to an adviser to the Republican presidential candidate.

Trump will reiterate his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, Heritage Foundation chief economist Stephen Moore said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg Television. At the same time, Trump has managed to whittle down the cost in terms of lost tax revenue by about two-thirds, to $3 trillion, he said, without specifying a timeline.

“If you’re a working-class American, there’s no question that an agenda that cuts taxes, that gets rids of regulations, redoes some of these trade deals in ways that are pro-America, is going to help,” said Moore, who was named Friday to Trump’s team of economic advisers. Other members include financiers John Paulson and Andy Beal and economists David Malpass and Peter Navarro.

Trump has promised to unveil a new policy agenda for “revitalizing the American economy” in a speech Monday at the Detroit Economic Club.

The plan will include major changes to U.S. energy policy that will make the country the biggest producer in the world of oil and gas, as well as coal, Moore said.

media and reporters ( if he takes questions after speech ) do not go easy on him ,and hold him accountable Don can not get away with anything . Am sick of hearing him say he is an outsider , not a politician etc .......

"Reagan is how Stone got introduced to Trump: In 1979, Stone came to New York to help Reagan's longshot effort to win the state's primary. "New York was Bush country," Stone said. "Trump let us use his plane, let us use phones, let us use office spaces he didn't even own ... We got to be friendly, and in 1981 when we founded Black, Manafort and Stone" -- Stone's former lobbying firm with Charlie Black and Manafort -- the Trump organization was among our first clients." In 1999, Stone helped lead Trump's presidential bid on the Reform Party ticket."

Don't even know where to start with something so fucked up as this. Interesting that a couple members of his economic advisers have never met the SludgeMeister. I guess it's like most Orange Sludge supporters. They didn't know until Sludge tweets.

It really comes down to this (quote from article):

“He’s got to change the subject, because he’s been off message for the last week, for sure.”
