"We know what we're asking for is a big bite".
US stocks on Wednesday declined following the tax plan's unveiling.
"There's crowd-out, because there's so much public debt and that takes money from private investment and bids up interest rates".
"That could have a big impact on families", Crowley said. Congress still has to write and pass a bill.
"I would say today is the start of the great Republican economic experiment", Crowley said.
He said as companies retain more money, they'll invest more domestically instead of spending overseas.
In order to offset some of the cost of the lower rates, Trump administration officials said they were proposing to eliminate virtually all tax deductions that Americans claim, provisions that they argued primarily benefited wealthier Americans.
Between health care reform, the border wall, and growing worldwide unrest, Washington has a lot on its plate in the weeks to come. Trump's administration agrees that it won't be easy.
On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Trump's plan would "pay for itself with growth" and closing of some deductions and credits.
And in the case of millions of low- and middle-income families, the breaks could raise their tax burden when combined with Trump's other proposals to eliminate head of household status, repeal personal exemptions and raise the lowest income tax rate to 12% from 10% now.
"We want to simplify the personal tax system, lower taxes and create economic growth", Mnuchin said at an event hosted by The Hill.
"It's about the economy", Cohn said. It's called the standard deduction ...
It would also roughly double the standard deduction that Americans can use to reduce their taxable income.
That's not bad news for someone who doesn't have a mortgage and doesn't itemize anyway. The value of the property and cash you own when you die is calculated and the amount arrived at is taxed. However, by the end of this clip the Treasury Secretary is being asked for Trump's tax returns and reporters are questioning whether this change will benefit Trump's businesses. It's basically an import tax. Indeed, the new Trump plan calls for eliminating the 3.8% "Obamacare tax". But Mr Trump has so far refused, suggesting he would share the tax documents only after the Internal Revenue Service completes an "audit" of them. At the very least, there will probably be some decrease in the corporate tax rate, maybe closer to what corporations pay in Europe and Asia, said Eric Hananel, at the accounting firm UHY Advisors.
Someone with huge medical expenses would not be able to take a deduction for those expenses. "We see this as a good thing".

In its letter, the university said the students and officials could work together to reschedule the event for a later date. A free speech rally was scheduled on March 4 in response, and that, too, became violent.
He would bring back down the top capital-gains rate to just 20%, enabling Americans who make millions in trades to pay far less than those who earn income through wages.
The two Trump advisers said that the top individual tax rate for US taxpayers would be cut from 39.6 percent to 35 percent, with only two other tax rates, 10 percent and 25 percent, down from the current seven rate levels.
Those owners now pay individual income tax rates, which top out at 39.6 percent.
A 3.8% surcharge on the sale of investments would be cut.
.The Trump team stressed the benefits that might flow to small businesses.
"Once this is passed into law in the U.S., I think other countries will follow suit through time because once one country moves beyond the pack then it can have an impact".
Right now, there are doubts.
Worth noting, Mnuchin's words were met with quick opposition from the Republican chair if the House Ways and Means subcommitee on tax policy, who said on CNBC he did want to see "temporary" measures.
"That's what tax reform is".
"The Government's got a plan to reduce the corporate tax rate to 25 per cent - that would only just put us in the game [and] the Senate hasn't been that helpful on that", he said.
During the campaign, Trump had proposed a 10 percent tax.
However, it's still unclear whether the plan, what U.S. officials called the "biggest tax cut" in history, would be revenue-neutral or would significantly increase fiscal deficits. There's an interesting report by the Congressional Budget Office.
Other economists say that if the cuts balloon the deficit, the resulting jump in government borrowing would swell interest rates and make it harder for businesses and households to borrow and spend.
Grant Thornton's Stamper noted hurdles, too. That means that if you live in one of those states when you die, your beneficiaries will likely owe a tax on what you leave them. "And scoring rules make it almost impossible to pass anything that's not revenue neutral without Democratic votes, even if it's temporary", Stamper said.
The same thing goes for cutting the estate tax and other taxes.
