Trump: The Economy Will Be a Rocket Under My Tax Plan

TRUMP: “Well, I think it probably will do even more than before, if you look at what is going to happen to the economy. The economy is going to just be absolutely like a rocket. It's going to go up. This is my prediction. This is what I'm good at. This is really my wheelhouse and I think you're going to create a tremendous number of jobs. You know, part of this, and as you and I were discussing, I'm also going to bring a lot of jobs back into the country because so many other countries have taken our jobs, they have taken our base, they have taken our manufacturing. So, we're going to couple that with this tax plan but we're going to have a country that really is going to rocket again and we haven't had that for a long time, Erin. You know, one of the things I mentioned during the news conference was that phony number of 5.3 and 5.4 and 5.5 percent unemployment. It could be 25 or 30 percent because you know when you stop looking for a job, they consider you for a statistical purpose.” 
BURNETT: “Right.”
TRUMP: “Employed. And you must sort of –“
BURNETT: “They don't count you as an employed when you are.” 
TRUMP: “Right. We have millions, tens of millions of people that couldn't find a job and they are now considered essentially employed. So, we're going to do something that's really great. And this is the thing I like the most. I'm going to put people to work. I'm going to be great for business. I'll be great for business. And we're going to have an economy that really is going to be hot.” 
BURNETT: “You -- will you pay more money? Will it be millions and millions, hundreds of millions? How much more will you pay?” 
TRUMP: “I will probably end up paying more money but, at the same time, I think the economy will do better, so I'm making up that way. But I will probably end up paying more money. I believe in the end, I might do better. Because I really believe the economy is going to go boom, beautiful.”
