I'm not sure why they're even pushing a 20% tax cut. They should just leave existing cuts in place. maybe they think the savings will spur spending, leaving it to the people rather than the government to grow the economy. That alone never works, if people are worried about future employment they will squirrel it away.
They didn't mention details in the debate but they have over the months. Some things like reducing the capital gains deductions got some push back so they don't want to commit to specifics. The money is there to make up the difference but it's a matter of who's going to take the hit and that's where they want bi-partisan support for what makes it to the final bill. It sounds like if they can't cover the 20% with closed loopholes they'll cut to the amount they can get. I think it's too much focus on a minor portion of their economic plan but I could be wrong. .
