Trump proposes the most conservative budget ever presented by a chief executive.

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.

I agree. Those in Congress will never allow the cuts to the bureaucracy.

It's supposedly deficit neutral because of the increase in military spending, which I don't really agree with. The military could certainly do more with less

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.

It's really quite sad. Heard Rex Tillerson talking earlier about cutting foreign aid and trying to do more with less in the state department and he's probably being called a fascist pos by the left. It really refreshing to have business minded people running things.

whats ironic is when state department agents and embassy staff start dying from lack of security what are you idiots who like this budget going to say.

And here I thought Obama was an irresponsible liberal spender.

But since this is the most conservative budget ever proposed, and it's about 99% of Obama's 2016 proposal, then Obama must be pretty conservative too.
