This should be interesting.

Posted earlier with link to WSJ but that's a pay site so I'm posting this for those without a subscription to the WSJ.

And the problem is?

These reports are silly. I’m kind of surprised anyone in the media even pays any mind to them. The President can propose whatever budget he wants, but he has absolutely no control over what passes in Congress.

[DannyTN]

The federal budget for the 2019 fiscal year is at $4.407 trillion."

So it's really going up 10%.

[Savage Beast]

Excellent! A debtor nation should not be dispensing foreign aid in the first place.

I’m very shocked if Trump would propose cutting Medicare or anything like it this year.

same ol, same ol.
Decreasing the increase is always called a “cut”

[dblshot]

DOA. I don’t know why the executive even sends a budget to congress unless it’s a campaign ploy.

[backwoods-engineer]

Trump’s budget is a dead letter while the Demonrats, and especially while Rip-it Nancy holds the Speakership. November is coming.

Title is F*d up. It’s not cutting $4.4T (although that might be good for starters); it’s a $4.8T proposal.

[TLI]

Heard on the radio today it cuts EPA by 25%.

HAHAHAHAHA!

foreign aid = the Dems slush fund

[UnwashedPeasant]

With the best economy ever, now is the perfect time for 95% of federal “workers” to become unemployed.

[Revolutionary]

People are working. Less need for the big safety net bucks.

To see the federal revenue, spending, and surplus/deficit from 1789 to 2024(est.), look at page 24 of this file:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BUDGET-2020-TAB/pdf/BUDGET-2020-TAB.pdf

Here are the 2020 estimated numbers:
Revenue: $3,644,772,000,000
Spendung: $4,745,573,000,000
Annual Deficit: ($1,100,801,000,000)

[Nateman]

If last years budget was 4.4 trillion and 4.4 trillion is being cut that means they are not spending ANYTHING this year? (Just pointing out the bogus headline)

[Bullish]

What? No more Obama phones on our dime?
