Second 2016 Presidential Debate: on Budget & Economy


Donald Trump: U.S. 1% growth is almost no growth, and due to high taxes

We have no growth in this country. If China has a GDP of 7 percent, it's like a national catastrophe. We're down at 1 percent. And that's, like, no growth. And we're going lower, in my opinion. A lot of it has to do with the fact that our taxes are so high, just about the highest in the world. And I'm bringing them down to one of the lower in the world.
