Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney detailed President Trump’s 2018 budget proposal last week. Here’s what you need to know and what I have to say about it.
Trump’s budget, like all other presidents’ budgets, is merely what the current administration hopes for and will not be enacted, includes $3.6 trillion in total spending reductions over the next decade with the biggest savings coming from the assumed adoption of the American Health Care Act, which faces quite a substantial hurdle in the Senate.
The budget is titled: “A new foundation for American jobs” and this emphasis on economic growth is why so many Americans put a businessman in charge of the world’s largest economy. For once, the administration is at least attempting to care for the taxpayers that fund this enormous government sprawling across the swampy streets of Washington DC. Mulvaney said they’re thinking more about the people who are paying the taxes, trying to justify why hardworking people should cough up their money for many redundant or repetitive programs instead of only focusing on those receiving the benefits and growing the ineffective welfare state.

No.
If these low life’s in the Senate cannot pass the healthcare bill they need to be replaced. Obozocare is the worse trick ever played on us.
It’s getting very hard to beat someone in primaries.
I guess it always was. Those in power want to stay in power.
Being in congress was never supposed to be a lifetime career.
Senator Grassley is quoted this morning saying it won’t happen.
Why did we elect these people ?
DEFUND socialist/totalitarian collectives, foreign and domestic.
Correction: no giving involved.
Taxes are extorted at the point of a sword, stripped from families who would make free choices to benefit themselves. Instead, they work for that which will be stolen.
If slavery is 100% uncompensated labor, we are 15-39% slaves - and more counting State tax extortion.
I applaud Trump.

Correction:\
OBOZO is the worst trick ever played on the American people.
Are the corporate tax cuts in here?
Agree.
Great question. I believe the RNC has used us for some years. I think we need to demand more non lawyer successful business candidates from the RNC. We have given the RNC everything they asked for except Trump. I say they need to put up or shut up. They need to be reminded/told that “WE ELECTED Trump AND REJECTED JEB BUSH AND ALL OTHERS THEY PUSHED.” It is high time that We the People are consulted on every major deal/vote.
Good question. We need to write each one and remind them.
Roger that.
Well said.
