Treasury Secretary Mnuchin on taxes

  • Aims to work with Congress to raise debt limit
  • Looking forward to working with Congress on tax reform
  • White House determined to have combined plan with Congress on taxes
  • I'd like to think there is bi-partisan support on taxes
  • Tax reform is critical to US economic growth

Bland stuff.

Update:

  • Temporary tax cuts are better than no tax cuts
  • Don't want to discourage funds from capex
  • We'll tax companies on their US income
  • Plays down the idea of debt prioritization
  • We will get the debt ceiling passed

McConnell:

  • "There is zero chance, no chance" that Congress will fail to raise the debt ceiling.
