RUSH EXCERPT:

MacCALLUM: "You really try to make a lot of moves to shrink the size of government, to shrink the size of the bureaucracy. But people say why not be concerned about the deficit? Why allow it to balloon with this tax reform. Why not touch entitlements. Unless you do that, you’re not really ever going to take a bite out of the spending."
TRUMP: "I’m not touching Social Security other than fraud, waste, and abuse. I will tell you this, look. We just put in a great tax proposal, the economy is going to boom and you will see that. It will take a period of time and he will have some deficits in the meantime it’s called priming the pump, you have to prime the pump. The numbers just came out yesterday. 1.6 GDP last year under President Obama. 1.6 percent, that is a horrible number."
