Some people cannot see the forest for the trees it seems!
With all due respect
@Bigun Some people refuse to believe Unicorns fart skittles also.
Presidential Budgets are merely 'suggestions' that are rarely adhered to by the a$$holes in Congress and if I may add, if the results of the last Budget process, is any indication it'll look like nothing that was promised.
Trump's Budget Is a Waste of Everybody's Time
Budgets are often dead on arrival, but this one is something new.
by The Editors
May 23, 2017 4:32 PM President Donald Trump’s first budget is truly remarkable in its unseriousness. To see why, try for a moment to take it seriously.
The plan purports to be fiscally responsible, saying that the national debt will fall from 77 percent now to 60 percent in 2027. A worthy goal, to be sure. At the same time, it calls for tax cuts but no changes in spending on the two main entitlement programs, Medicare and (non-disability) Social Security. To square these ambitious pledges, the budget then needs either a close-to-impossible acceleration in economic growth, or an implausibly severe squeeze on most other kinds of spending.
With characteristically Trumpian disdain for reality, the budget proposes both.
The Trump administration has until now said its planned tax cuts would pay for themselves by pushing economic growth to 3 percent a year -- a claim already seen as outlandish by every serious analyst, liberal and conservative alike. The budget appears to go one better: It says this boost in growth will be sufficient not just to maintain revenue (despite the cut in rates) but will actually raise revenue by $2 trillion over 10 years compared with current policy. Perhaps somebody just made a dumb mistake, counting the revenue from faster growth twice over. With this administration, it’s wise not to rule it out.
