President Trump will seek to boost defense spending by $34 billion and slash welfare programs in a budget the White House plans to propose Monday.
Trump wants to up Pentagon spending to $750 billion and put in place strict new requirements for welfare recipients, according to the Associated Press and other reports.
He’s also going to ask for border-wall funding and money to establish his proposed Space Force branch of the military.

Wow. He’s looking to build one hell of a wall.

It’s unclear how much more money the president will seek to build the wall with Mexico. The request is coming on top of the $8.1 billion Trump already has access to, which includes some $3.6 billion he’s trying to shift from military accounts after declaring a national emergency. Trump invoked the emergency declaration last month after Congress denied his request for $5.7 billion. Instead, Congress approved nearly $1.4 billion for the border barriers, far less than he wanted.
The MSM would have us believe : Border Defense = bad. Illegal immigrants = good. Guns kill people = bad. Abortions murders thousand every year = good. Orange Man = bad. The treasonous backward thinking destructive DNC party = good.
The federal government should only be doing foreign affairs, military defense, and immigration. That's it. All the other stuff should be handed off to the states. Things like the FDA and the CDC - non-profits can do.
He can get an estimated $130 billion, or more, if he’d just get rid of the illegals.....just sayin’
Atleast this article is less biased than others I’ve seen where they said, “trump wishes to increase defense spending by $787 billion, when we know it’s only the increase showed in this article above last year. I so hate the medias play on words or just out right lying.
Where is the damned “ WALL”!! We want the Wall!!

IIRC the feds spend 24% of then taxes for federal education just to turn the money around and re-distribute it and tell the schools not to serve pizza.
Let’s hope he can build up and modernize the military because the next Rat president will gut it again.
I think entitlement reduction is good but I’m not so sure the defense industry needs even more money to develop toys we’re just going to let china steal. A space force might be a good way to increase research on space travel technology though.
I hope his budget says no green card, no citizenship you get no welfare, food stamps, or medical. All you get is a free ride back where you came from.
Why can’t the RNC produce ads featuring that picture of Nancy and Chucku? I’m so tired of belonging to the stupid party whose afraid of their own shadow. No wonder the liberals are so scared of Trump. He doesn’t act like the typical linguini spined Republican politician.
[sigh]
