I doubt enough of Congress shares his vision for it to come to fruition. It's one thing to say this or that needs to be cut or eliminated. It's quite another when that cut impacts people in your district that you have to answer to.


Mulkavey answered this, he has experience as an elected official in his background.

"The President ran on, campaigned on, promised to work for, ALL Americans not just some segment or limited constituency. This is HIS budget, what he is presenting to those who represent parts of the whole to review, to respond, to negotiate."

He also addressed the revenue neutrality of this SPENDING budget versus the coming tax and other REVENUE reforms to come later this year. He specifically mentioned it may be following the August recess before the Balanced Budget is thus completed.

Okay? It's still up to Congress to draft the budget and set discretionary spending within that budget. They're not going to cut discretionary spending to the levels he has proposed in his budget.
