Trump should insist upon the cuts to the foreign welfare McConnell wants or keep vetoing the funding bill until McConnell caves or Trump is overridden.
Truth be told, these guys like McConnell don’t want to cut anything.
McConnell is a big-government “New Republican” in the mold of people like Arthur Larson. He already spoke against getting rid of the
Appalachian Regional Commission, which was created by LBJ and is mentioned as a candidate for being cut in Trump’s budget.
