Steven Rattner: “Tax cuts are fine, but they do not pay for themselves, they simply don't.”

I think that to simply focus on one or two provisions affecting business as the centerpiece of tax reform is excessively narrow.

I would not want to see that be part of the equation to come up with a tax plan that doesn't increase the deficit.

Sitting where we are sitting now, having done nothing really for 30 years in terms of comprehensive tax reform has cost us millions of jobs.

We should have asked the UAW to do more. We did not ask any UAW member to take a cut in their pay.
