OMB Director Mick Mulvaney Discusses The Pending Economic Policy Confrontation…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 21, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 04/21/2017 4:12:45 PM PDT by HarleyLady27

Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney appears on Bloomberg News to discuss the seismic, epic, thundershock confrontational clash that is about to take place between the Trump administration and the DC UniParty.

There are no adjectives capable of describing the scope and immeasurable scale of the battle that is about to transpire between the White House and the Democrat/Republican UniParty.

MONEY is where every entity within the full-swamp goes nuclear against President Trump and the administration. Despite all prior discussions toward this end, it is doubtful that more than one-in-a-million people can fully grasp the dynamic at play.

Because the procedural wonk is so inherently riddled with ten thousand tentacles of political schematics, I will defray the wonk-speak until after the video.

If you are interested in deep political weeds, keep reading. However, if you have blood pressure issues or are concerned about your physical or mental health, STOP HERE and go enjoy life. Believe me.

Buckle Up, this Train is going to smash through Washington D.C. and there are going to be a lot of ‘fish out of water’ by the time the end of the Train passes through...

Yep...♦House Speaker Paul Ryan will use the budgetary rules process, as a backdoor, to leverage the U.S. CoC Lobbyists construct of the Border Adjustment Tax (BAT).

“it always helps to remind and re-emphasize to people that Republicans in congress (House and Senate – ’10 through ’16) fully funded all of Obama’s policies and programs.”

Trump needs to turn the screws on Congress. Behind the scenes would be better, but if need be, he should go public.

Even if he’s a one-term president if he can drain the swamp of the uniparty, he will make his term worthwhile. Ryan has to either get religion, or go. It’s not just Ryan who’s the problem, but getting rid of him in a public way could be useful and send a message.

Obamacare must be repealed. Tax reform must happen. Not under Ryan’s terms, but under Trump’s.

Most of those same UniParty republicans are already opposed to the border wall. They view funding for the border wall as a negotiation tool to keep the federal government spending on other facets. President Trump cannot fund the wall, and simultaneously fund their big government spending indulgences without deficit spending.

Enter Paul Ryan.

Ryan will propose this Border Adjustment Tax, a program Trump hates, as the revenue tool to provide the funding for the tax/budget that contains the border wall funding.

See how that works?

[U.S. CoC and Ryan ] – The U.S. CoC get their B.A.T, which is essentially a tax against consumers allowing big corporations to fatten their bottom line, by forcing Trump to give up his border wall or go along with their proposal.

Wait, you ask: …what about renegotiated trade deals with (Mexico) via NAFTA that will, essentially, provide the revenue that more than pays for the wall?

Great question. Yes, the renegotiated NAFTA deals would easily provide the treasury revenue that will offset any wall expenditures.

However, now you understand why congress is refusing to accept the NAFTA “letter of intent” from Commerce Secretary Ross. The republican UniParty congress is blocking, well, actually they are ‘strategically delaying‘, Wilbur Ross from renegotiating the trade deal with Mexico – and by doing so they are blocking the revenue that would undermine their tax/budget scheme and argument in favor of the B.A.T.

Except they lose. Trump has them. Because the very, very last thing they ever want to do is shut down government and allow Trump to rule by executive order.

It would leave allocation of the remaining resources completely in the hands of the executive. It’s masterful. All conservatives would cheer the shutdown, all the libs would whine.

When challenged about the UniParty, it always helps to remind and re-emphasize to people that Republicans in congress (House and Senate – ’10 through ’16) fully funded all of Obama’s policies and programs.

Do not worry, God doesn’t make mistakes and God has His Hands on President Trump...

Re: “Trump needs to turn the screws on Congress.”

Is that the same Trump who recently announced a $1 trillion infrastructure program, which will be entirely funded by borrowed money?

If this is the uniparty’s plan, with the so called rules that artificially “force” the budget to be negotiated their way, then there will be lots of gnashing of teeth when their Overton Window is smashed.

Good to know. This is one reason he's not at all worried about shutting her down :). Thanks LS

I’m not sure. I know Trump has promised a $1T infrastructure plan, but I didn’t hear how he intends to fund it. Got a reference you can share with us?
