President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Mick Mulvaney, a conservative Republican congressman from South Carolina who is known as a budget “hawk”, as director of the Office of Management and Budget. Donald Trump accuses China of 'unpresidented' act over US navy drone Read more
In a statement issued on Saturday morning – shortly after Trump tweeted an inflammatory comment about China’s seizure of a US navy drone in the South China Sea – Trump called Mulvaney a “very high-energy leader with deep convictions for how to responsibly manage our nation’s finances and save our country from drowning in red ink”.
Trump also said that with Mulvaney as his budget director, his administration would make “smart choices” and “renew the American taxpayer’s trust in how their money is spent”.
Mulvaney said he would help restore “budgetary and fiscal sanity … after eight years of an out-of-control, tax-and-spend financial agenda” under Barack Obama.
Like other Trump nominations, the budget director’s job requires Senate approval.
Mulvaney’s nomination follows a pattern of Trump turning to individuals with records apparently hostile to the agencies they are nominated to lead.

Fire 500,000 bureaucrats to start, and what’s left in D.C., put them in office trailers on the Kansas plains. Rent out their high dollar D.C. opulent buildings to renters who actually produce things Americans want.
And what does the budget office have to do with that ?
Do some of you remotely give a damn about the jobs these people are task to do, or is your thing to make sure 100% of their views perfectly line up with yours?
Watch and learn. You are in old thinking mode. Trump isn't going to fund the national rebuilding projects in the usual corrupt way. He will use new capital and new bonds via the new multi-trillions repatriated and leveraged. The budget will be balanced.
The Senate confirmation hearings are going to be a wonder to see and hear. I wish I had time to watch all of every one of them. They are going to have to keep an ambulance crew standing by and a team of doctors to take care of the apoplectic fits that the Democrats are going to have. Cant wait to see the performance of that black guy from Georgia that can’t string three words together in a coherent sentence.
Since when is being fiscally conservative a hostile attitude to have when running a budget office?
My oh my, some idiots are working over time this season.
That’s nonsense.
It’s as if the writer thinks you’re the head of the budget office, so the more you spend the better job you have done.
Yikes...
Oh, don't worry. Obama will tell the Chinese to cut it out. They'll hurt themselves laughing and all will be well in Obamaworld.
I’d bet a cup of coffee with that comment, you’re a former Cruz supporter.
“… after eight years of an out-of-control, tax-and-spend financial agenda” under Barack Obama.”
And let’s not leave out the limp d!ck RINOs when we assess who was complicit in all of this profligate spending. Face it folks, as much as we need to further decimate the RATs in both houses of Congress, there’s a bunch of nut cuttin’ to be done in the ranks of the GOPe too. If we don’t get rid of McScrotumneck and Lyin’ Ryan (and McCarthy, Scalise, and McMorris Rogers), we risk causing Trump to fail.
“Cant wait to see the performance of that black guy from Georgia that can’t string three words together in a coherent sentence.”
Hank Johnson, (Mr. Guam is capsizing) is a member of the House from GA. We won’t be hearing from him in the confirmation hearings which go on in the Senate. Both Senators from GA are white guys (Issakson and Perdue), but I will grant you that neither of them are Mensas either.
Like other Trump nominations, the budget director’s job requires Senate approval.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Some positions do not require Senate approval.
Other than learning how to spell “precedent”...all’s well.

There have been some other famous leaders in the past who were poor spellers, but I’d have to do a search to name them and it’s not worth the effort.

Bravo Mr. Trump!
These individuals know those agencies are off the road and in the ditch!!!
MAGA
I’ve had worse than that come out of auto-correct or voice-writer. Could be that. It also could be a spelling error, and it also could be intentional, and it could be he doesn’t give a damn.
So.Much.Winning!
Mulvaney is a member of the House Freedom Caucus.....a further source of heartburn for Little Pauley Ryan......Trump just keeps boxing Ryan in....sheer genius....
Can Ryan do what his words say? Or not......
Can/Will he continue to slither in the shadows?
This will be the best first 3 months to watch EVER....after Trump’s inauguration.
Hometown, Blue-Eyed Boy Next Door...speaking in his Aw Shucks manner at the County Fair......LYING right in front of everyone’s eyes......
Ryan is SO BUSTED
It is good news.
ahhh, so just wondering if you believe there are 57 states?
