McCain: Trump’s Budget Dead on Arrival

Posted on 05/24/2017 1:49:36 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Tuesday Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said President Donald Trump’s budget was dead on arrival.

In a statement, McCain said, “President Trump’s $603 billion defense budget request is inadequate to the challenges we face, illegal under current law, and part of an overall budget proposal that is dead on arrival in Congress.”

McCain was asked by MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt, “Can I ask you about president’s budget? Is it dead on arrival?”

He replied, “Yes. and the commitment to rebuilding the military cannot be fulfilled with this level of spending. It is $30 billion too short.”

It is thanks to McCain and other morons who mimic him that the budget process has been a mess for now nearly a decade. Congress does not work because it is replete with McCains, and the lowlife is trying to set it up so that his daughter will follow him in the Senate.

"Can’t recall a Senator. He just got reelected, you’re stuck with him for 6 years."

It would be grand to do it anyway, tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of AZ signatures to eventually had it too him to show him he is a Minister without Portfolio. Unnecessary and cruel shaming? Perhaps, but tell me how else he gets the message he is so on the wrong side of history on so many things these days it isn't even funny.

>>>Presidents’ budgets are always “dead on arrival” because Congress believes it is in charge of the budget process.

It also helps if you don’t submit a budget that does things like eliminate the estate tax, yet still forecasts $328B in estate tax revenue. That is some 3D chess.

He would not accept such a petition, and would not care a lick if one was circulated. He just won with a huge margin, was not threatened in the primary and has 6 years left. The only thing that will get rid of him is indictment or death.

Wish I could say the same thing about McCain. He’s already brain dead.

Seems like he has McCain’s temperament.

Just wish I’d wake up tomorrow morning and learn that McCain was DOA! He has caused so much damage to the Republican Party. He’s no war hero either, just a guy who was a $hitty pilot with an Admiral Father and Grandfather to cover for his poor piloting skills.

“Can’t recall a Senator. He just got reelected, you’re stuck with him for 6 years. Or until his secrets are revealed, or his health takes a turn for the worse.”

I’ll take Door #3 His health takes a turn for the worse! It’s a quicker, more certain outcome.

One of these days after you've been called home, people are gonna miss you.

Although you'll probably laugh when you read this,

I promise you, they will.

Because they broke the mold...etc. etc. etc.

ps: Is this the same budget proposal from 2013 rewritten?

Many vets are getting upset by some of it.
