Looks like fiscal policy is back to the days of Bush the Younger. Massive tax cuts combined with no spending restraint. I hope the Chinese are still interested in US Treasuries.

Will the President veto it if it doesn’t fully fund his wall?

Obunghole got a $10T credit Card so Trump can get one for $2 or $3T to get America back on track. Hopefully he pushes to end base line budgeting in his 2nd term!

While the headline on this article focuses on a 2year budget, why do I get the feeling this is just another can kick?

Coming from the compost, the task for them is what phraseology to use to cover the latest kick-the-can - and the use the same’ol same’ol, budget within reach, with 3 days to go... blah, blah.

I see no reason to think that this time is different.

If there are no spending caps then it isn’t a “budget” - it’s a spending plan.

You cannot continue spending a trillion dollars a year of imaginary money forever - eventually the bottom will fall out. It amazes me that today’s youth can’t figure that out. I’m old enough I may or may not be alive when the inevitable happens but the youth of today will certainly experience it and it will make the great depression look like a walk in the part. The economic train is heading for a cliff and the establishment not only refuses to stop it, they are stepping on the gas.

My vote? Cut domestic spending by a lot, and cut military spending a moderate amount. We don’t need more government; we need more freedom.
