578 billion? Isn’t that just about the same amount that Dr. Ben Carson discovered in waste, fraud and abuse at HUD?
I don't see a shut down of the government either...President Trump is very cagey and very smart and I think he has Congress in a position where they can't do anything but wonder what has happened since they have been on vacation...you see President Trump has been in the White House Working, and entertaining Foreign Leaders, and tending to the American Voters business...
They will stomp and cry and have every media, talking head and radio show hosts out screaming and yelling and writing ‘fake news’ but we know Our President is not beholden to anyone but the American Voter and he has been working his butt off for US!!!
GO.PRESIDENT TRUMP. GO!!! MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

The way it works is the president proposes and Congress disposes.
President Trump can only ask for what he believes is necessary to defend this country. By asking for the money he has stood before the American people, his voters and in effect has said to them,”I am trying to do what I promised I would do too build up our military. It is in the hands of Congress now so all you out their need to let your elected official know where you stand on this.”
Big deal, Trump doesn’t have to run for re-election next year, those turds do. Let them go home and tell their voters they blocked the repeal of Obamacare, prevented Trump from spending more on defense and denied funds for the border wall...
They’ve got about a year to get with the program or start packing their crap.
Its the people and Trump against all comers now.
We need to spend to maintain a sufficent nuclear deterrent, spend on strategic defense such as naval, air force and missile defense and spend a whole lot less on an army to “project power”, get us into quaqmires and make things easier for all our freeloading “allies” while not advancing the security of the US. Of course all that interferes with Congress’s private interest in being reelected.
