"What you're going to see on Wednesday for the first time is, here's what our principles are, here's some of the ideas we like, some of the ideas we don't like. here's some of the rates we're talking about", White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said on "Fox News Sunday".
Former reality television star Donald J. Trump promised late on Friday to reveal plans for a "massive" tax cut for Americans next week.
"Let me make it absolutely clear: President Trump is absolutely committed to make sure that taxpayers are not at risk for government bailouts of entities that are too big to fail", he said. But the concept hasn't gained much support among Republicans in the House or Senate - and retailers, carmakers and oil refiners that rely on imported goods have said the tax would raise prices on consumer goods. Among the administration's aims are to simplify the tax code for individuals and families, lower corporate tax rates and provide a major tax cut for the middle class.
"The tax plan will pay for itself with economic growth", Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said during a White House press briefing Monday. He said he worries that the administration's projections of the tax cuts' economic benefits are far larger than would be reasonable to assume. He said the basic Form 1040 used to file taxes had grown from 34 lines and two pages of instructions to 79 lines and 211 pages of instructions.
Mnuchin said Thursday that the tax cuts would be fully paid for. Option 1 is probably off the table, unless the President is willing to take a bold new tack to change the political dynamic-perhaps by releasing his tax return, or by accepting a limit on interest tax reductions that would hurt his real estate business.

Employment in Manufacturing remained unchanged. "We have job openings in our state, our labor force is growing". But hiring has averaged about 175,000 jobs in the first three months of the year, similar to last year's pace.
"The goal of the orders is to make clear what the president's and the administration's priorities are and to signify the importance of these issues to the American people", Mnuchin said. Critics argue this process is costly and arbitrary.
Trump went to the Treasury Department on Friday to sign three executive orders that start the process of fulfilling his campaign pledges to undo regulations that he says unduly strain the USA economy.
And Goldman - which has at least a half-dozen alums in the Trump administration - decried the "continued delays" that health care has imposed on the tax reform timeline, according to a note this week.
As Trump's freaky presidency nears the 100 days in office milestone, he still has not released his own personal tax returns, or any details on his own vast family business of global holdings and shell companies. In his "Contract with the American Voter", he vowed to work with Congress on tax legislation "within the first 100 days of my administration".
