also this will help the sale of guns and do much for the prison industry as more desperate people will lead to more crime

the irony of course is that it hits working class people hard...Trump's base will not be happy...if they figure out of course that they are about to get hit hard.

Why does every one of your posts include a shot at someone's intelligence? You should trademark that.

Chill. This thing won't lead to anything because it's dead on arrival. Republicans in congress will decide what actually passes.

Trump's proposed budget is a nightmare... for millions of children, elderly, students, and poor... as well as for our economy. And of course, Trump himself is his own biggest critic of it...

... add farmers, rural, and infrastructure to the list hurt by Trump's budget...

Heavy cuts to rural development and infrastructure in latest Trump budget

The White House would slash rural housing subsidies, mortgage loan guarantees, programs that maintain clean water and other utilities and independent agencies that support job training programs. In many cases, states would be expected to offset spending cuts to critical infrastructure, like sewer repairs; but in other cases, including development grants that revitalize neighborhoods or seed new local businesses, communities would likely have to turn to private organizations for funding or assistance.

Has there ever been anything ever like this? There is a documented quote for Trump in direct opposition of EVERY position he's taken since taking office.

pgabriel · May 24, 2017

I don't understand why he keeps running trickle down economics up the flag pole

pirc1 · May 24, 2017

I say good for Trump, he is looking out for his self interest, unlike so many people who voted for him, we deserve Trump in this country.

geeimsobored · May 24, 2017

Keep proposing these stupid proposals. The latest poll has the generic congressional ballot at +16 for Democrats. The whole Trump is crazy stuff doesn't sell nearly as well as Democrats would hope but idiotic policy proposals will turn the election against the Republicans if they keep this up. Combine Trump's behavior and bad policy and its a formula for the Republicans somehow managing to lose the house despite historic advantages in district gerrymandering.

My favorite part... Paul Ryan has to look crazy by saying how much he supports Trump's plan... "right on target".

House Speaker Ryan: Trump's budget is 'right on the target'

"So, what I see is a president keeping his promises."

Course, even right wing newspaper Washington Examiner is laughing at Ryan:

Paul Ryan supports a Trump budget he hasn't even read

Been a while since we looked at the Trump budget plan...CBO will analyze the budget tomorrow.

Study: Trump budget would increase debt

President Donald Trump’s budget proposal would increase the nation’s debt burden, according to a study by the Committee for a Responsible Budget (CFRB) — far from the administration's stated goals of cutting the national debt and balancing the budget. While the White House claimed that their budget would lower debt from the current 77 percent of GDP to a sustainable 60 percent over a decade, the CFRB study estimated that debt would continue to rise to 80 percent of GDP instead. Experts and economists had slammed the proposal for unrealistic economic assumptions and accounting tricks. “Even these estimates assume the implementation of deep unspecified discretionary spending cuts, a costless tax reform, and double-counted Medicaid savings,” the group wrote in a post on the subject.

I didn't see any shots taken. Perhaps you are insecure about the base you associate yourself with.

He's definitely very insecure.

Hahaha. I guess...

Overall, I consider myself pretty respectful to most of you guy's opinion. Typically take the high road as well.

Surprise, not only no surplus as promised, but a $720 Billion deficit.

CBO: Trump budget would not balance

A new government analysis of President Donald Trump's budget plan says it wouldn't come close to balancing the federal ledger like the White House has promised. Thursday's Congressional Budget Office report says that Trump's budget, if followed to the letter, would result in a $720 billion deficit at the end of 10 years instead of the slight surplus promised. CBO said Trump's budget would reduce the deficit by a total of $3.3 trillion over 10 years instead of the $5.6 trillion deficit cut promised by the White House. The nonpartisan scorekeeper estimated that deficits in each of the coming 10 years will exceed the $585 billion in red ink posted last year.

President Donald Trump's budget would not balance after a decade, according to a score from the Congressional Budget Office released Thursday. The CBO analysis found that the budget would reduce deficit spending from the current baseline of 3.6 percent of GDP by about a third, with deficits over the decade ranging between 2.6 percent of GDP and 3 percent of GDP.

When Trump released his budget proposal, the White House said it would eliminate the deficit in a decade and reduce the national debt to 60 percent of GDP, down from the current 77 percent. CBO assessed that the debt burden would rise to 80 percent. That's 11 points below the current projections, but far from the promises touted by the White House. The Trump proposal was roundly criticized for relying on rosy economic predictions and accounting gimmicks to reach those goals.

see above:

One chart blows up Trump's promise that his budget will eliminate the deficit

In an analysis of the budget released Thursday, the CBO said the Trump plan will shrink the deficit relative to the size of the overall economy, but it projects a budget deficit ten years from now that's far larger than the Trump administration's estimates. The White House projects that the budget could tip into a surplus of $16 billion by the fiscal year 2027, from a $585 billion deficit in the most recent year, but the CBO's estimates suggest a deficit of $720 billion in 2027. The Trump proposal, which isn't a detailed budget, was released in May and immediately met with criticism over its growth projections and assumptions. For example, predictions of long-term deficit reduction are based on the idea that annual economic growth will hit 3% once tax cuts "prime the pump." That's well over the average rate of growth since 1980, which is about 2.6%.

OMFG... Trump's Budget Director says the Trump budget will work via the magic of MAGAnomics. Do they think this is pre-school? Seriously, even if you actually believed that somehow GDP growth would almost double from some form of voo doo... how can you support something with a name that DeVos or Conway must have came up with???

Please, Mueller, save us from this insanity!

Mick Mulvaney coins the term 'MAGAnomics' for Trump's economic agenda

Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney has coined a new name for the Trump administration's economic agenda: MAGAnomics. In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, Mulvaney said the president's goal to achieve a healthy American economy centers on a sustained 3 percent annual economic growth. "The focus of MAGAnomics is simple: Grow the economy and with it the wealth of, and opportunity for, all Americans," Mulvaney wrote. "MAGA" is an acronym for Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

"MAGA" is an acronym for Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again." He wrote the administration aims to achieve higher economic growth by curbing welfare programs, increasing infrastructure spending and passing comprehensive tax reform. Mulvaney wrote 3 percent annual growth would yield billions in higher GDP, federal revenue, and wages for American workers. Mulvaney cited data that showed from 1940 until 2007, the U.S. economy grew at an average of 3.5 percent, though it has not grown at more than 2 percent annually for the past decade.
