Yep...a fiscal conservative appointed by Trump......great news...
Mulvaney to OMB is another Trump pick to ease the nerves of jittery conservatives - Hot Air
For those still fretting over how much Trump may honor the wishes of the conservatives who make up his base – particularly the fiscal conservatives – it’s hard to see any of us being too upset about this pick. Mulvaney is an original Freedom Caucus guy and has proven to be a thorn in the side of the GOP establishment on a range of matters since first being elected back during the 2010 wave. Keep in mind that in the days leading up to the election there was a lot of talk of throwing Paul Ryan off his perch over some of his less than “pro-Trump” comments. This is the same guy who was telling Politico at that time that he might have to help take out Ryan as Speaker because the base would want to “take a scalp” in retribution.
