Bad idea. Once they start this shell game they will look like they have no faith in their own economic policies.
The government toolbox for fighting a recession is pretty empty. There isn’t a lot of room to reduce interest rates. We’re already running trillion dollar deficits so the government can’t increase spending. Just hope it’s not a deep one.
Haha major trolling going on here. You want to manufacture a fictitious recession, then lets cut taxes to help out your “recession”.
The same old crap “Siting sources familiar with the matter”
Trial balloon at best trying to build momentum for what they hope for , a recession and get folks all knock kneed and assuming a fetal position...
Get some new material please
Wow. Media going full banana to push this recession meme.
“...citing three sources familiar with the matter...”
Yawn.
Robert “Bedsheets” Byrd’s amendment requiring “revenue neutrality” demands that any payroll tax be “funded” through a reduction in benefits.
The payroll tax reduction might be temporary but the benefits reduction will become permanent.
What if they threw a recession and nobody came?
I’ll call BS!
Hearsay Loose Lips got on its phone and stroked the ear of an eager Socialist reporter.
Not only unrealistic, but deferring payroll taxes is practically idiotic in so many ways.
White House Denies It Is Considering Payroll Tax Cut To Boost Economy

I would call that capitulation. It would all but admit that Trump thinks a recession is in the cards.
Fox reporting WaPo propaganda. This article IMO is nothing more than propaganda to establish, carry forth the leftist rumor about some recession just over the horizon.
Nothing to see here but propaganda.
I never thought I’d see Fox over the fence back slapping, and fist pumping with the left, but they are most certainly on the other side now.
As we get closer to 2020, suddenly there is a lot of gloom and doom. Suddenly the economy is on the brink. Suddenly “recession” is commonly heard on TV a lot of the time.
I can’t imagine why...
1/3 of economists think there might be a recession in 2021.
The only thing to fear is rear itself, fear propagated by the DNC/MSM to scare voters and diminish the strong trump economy as a positive to continue to support trump.
