White House Officials Work to Bolster Economy

“The White House is examining proposals to bolster the economy amid warning signs of a slowdown, even as President Trump and top officials project confidence that a recession isn’t on the horizon,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Officials are discussing a range of tax cuts to propose to Congress. Some in the White House briefly brought up the possibility of a payroll-tax cut, though two people familiar with the matter said they didn’t expect that idea to be pursued, and a White House official said Mr. Trump hadn’t endorsed the proposal.”
