On CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper, Leader Pelosi: Trump's Grade on First 100 Days is 'Incomplete'
Leader Pelosi also highlighted that despite President Trump's inaction to support American jobs, Democrats standby ready to work with Republicans to create good paying jobs and reduce the deficit.
Below are the highlights.
On the GOP's Flawed Trickle Down Tax Plan:
"Let's just say this - we have always said that we wanted to reform the tax code to make it simple, to make it fairer, and to make it help reduce the deficit. What the President proposed today is something that will increase the deficit by $5.5 trillion."
"The Republicans have avoided the responsibility of paying for their tax cuts. They say: the growth in the economy will cover it. They call that ‘dynamic scoring.' The fact is: it never has. It never has. This is called trickle-down economics. It never has. It's tax breaks for high end overwhelmingly, with a few goodies to make it look good on the side."
On Working with Republicans:
"All I say to my people when they go to the negotiations, you hear a good idea, wherever it's coming from, we're good for it – if it promotes growth for good paying jobs in our country, creates jobs and reduces the deficit. That's not what his proposal does."
"We stand ready to work with him. You want do an infrastructure bill? Show us your infrastructure bill. Where is that? He has been in office – he was elected five, six months ago almost and we still don't see an infrastructure bill. We look forward to that. It's never been partisan, except when President Obama proposed it, and then the Republicans opposed it."
On a Possible GOP Government Shutdown:
"We're determined that we will not shut down government. The Democrats are determined that we will not have a government shutdown."
"Not this week, and I hope never because it's a very bad thing"
On the Trump Administration Removing Funding for Sanctuary Cities:
"First of all, the fact that the idea of sanctuary cities was something that came together with the religious community. Bring people together to say, ‘how can we protect our people, keep our city safe?' That's an oath we all take no matter what we are doing. We usually all have to take an oath to protect the American people. This is a way do that."
"It's about making people safer and not having our police forces turn into an immigration deportation force. They have to – they should understand what it's about."
