The Republican Party would do a better job at dealing with taxes and the economy, according to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Monday. Thirty-five percent of respondents said they prefer the GOP to handle the economy, compared with 28 percent who said they prefer Democrats, and 31 percent said they preferred Republicans over Democrats (29 percent) on the issue of taxes. In December, Democrats held a five-point advantage on the economy question and a four-point advantage on the tax question – but that was days before lawmakers passed a sweeping tax overhaul. The survey also found: Just 27 percent of Americans call the tax overhaul a good idea, while 36 percent say they disagree. Americans prefer Democrats to handle immigration, reducing gun violence, dealing with healthcare, and dealing with sexual harassment, and Republicans handle protecting America's interest on trade issues, and reducing the federal deficit. 56 percent say the White House is either "not too … [Read more...] about NBC/WSJ Poll: Americans Prefer GOP to Handle Taxes, Economy

Chinese leaders, with a country that boasts one of the largest economies in the world, is "very serious" about dealing with the United States while also protecting their homeland, Sen. David Perdue said Tuesday. "They're already a $12 trillion economy," the Georgia Republican told CNBC's "Squawk Box." Adjusted, they're already almost our size." Perdue, fresh off a tour of Asia, said that when his delegation met with some of China's top leaders, they learned that they are a country that's on the rise, and "we have to deal with them." "The president's taken the right attack," he said. "He's gotten their attention. You see the week after we were over there that President XI [Jinping] came in and voluntarily offered to back up on some of the tariffs that they now have against the United States." Similar offers have been made before, and Perdue said that's one reason President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs on China. He pointed to South Korea, where in the past year the United States … [Read more...] about Sen. Perdue: Chinese Leaders ‘Very Serious’ About Growing Economy

The Democratic Party is now "openly socialist" and is pushing hard against President Donald Trump's economic gains, Andy Puzder, the former CKE Restaurants CEO who at one time was the president's nominee for Labor secretary, said Tuesday. "We are in a very different situation than we were in, say, when Ronald Reagan was president or George W. Bush was president," said Puzder, while appearing on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" to promote his new book, "The Capitalist Comeback: The Trump Boom and the Left's Plot to Stop It" "We have now got an opposition that's actually openly socialist." The Democratic Party, he continued, "isn't the party of John Kennedy anymore. It's now the party of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. The Democratic Party really has been captured by this progressive socialist ideology, particularly young people." Meanwhile, the left is trying to sabotage President Donald Trump's push for an economic boom, Puzder said, despite the jobs and tax cut bill passed in … [Read more...] about Andy Puzder: Democratic Party ‘Openly Socialist,’ Fighting Trump Economy
