					<description><![CDATA[President Donald Trump&#8216;s team boasted Wednesday that its tax-cut plan would lighten Americans&#8217; financial burdens, ignite economic growth and vastly simplify tax filing. Yet the proposal so far remains short of vital details, including how it would be paid for. And based on the few specifics spelled out so far, most experts suggest that it would add little to growth while swelling the budget deficit and potentially handing large windfalls to wealthier taxpayers. Trump&#8217;s plan would replace the current seven&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After their humiliating loss on health care, Republicans in Congress could use a quick victory on a big issue. It won&#8217;t be an overhaul of the tax code. Overhauling the tax code could prove harder to accomplish than repealing and replacing Barack Obama&#8216;s health law. Congressional Republicans are divided on significant issues, especially a new tax on imports embraced by House Speaker Paul Ryan. And the White House is sending contradicting signals on the new tax, adding to the uncertainty.&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Military spending would get the biggest boost in President Donald Trump&#8217;s proposed budget. Environmental programs, medical research, Amtrak and an array of international and cultural programs — from Africa to Appalachia — would take big hits, among the many parts of the government he&#8217;d put on a crash diet. The budget proposal out Thursday is a White House wish list; it&#8217;ll be up to Congress to decide where money goes. If Trump gets his way, there will be more losers&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The White House and Republican leaders are talking to rank-and-file lawmakers about revising the GOP health care overhaul, hoping to keep a rebellion by conservatives and moderates from snowballing and imperiling the party&#8217;s showpiece legislation. Four days after a congressional report projected the bill would pry coverage from millions of voters, signs of fraying GOP support for the legislation were showing. The measure would strike down much of former President Barack Obama&#8216;s 2010 overhaul and reduce the federal role, including&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In a combative opening debate, Hillary Clinton emphatically denounced Donald Trump Monday night for keeping his personal tax returns and business dealings secret from voters and peddling a &#8220;racist lie&#8221; about President Barack Obama. Businessman Trump repeatedly cast Clinton as a &#8220;typical politician&#8221; as he sought to capitalize on Americans&#8217; frustration with Washington. Locked in an exceedingly close White House race, the presidential rivals tangled for 90-minutes over their vastly different visions for the nation&#8217;s future. Clinton called for lowering&#8230;]]></description>
