from: Trump's Brutally Honest Budget Puts GOP Lawmakers On The Spot
Editorial 4:13 PM ET
Fiscal Policy: President Trump has clearly brought his business acumen to bear when crafting his first budget proposal, producing the most gimmick-free, strategic, focused — and deeply conservative — spending plan we've ever seen.
The White House had already revealed the basic outline of Trump's budget plan: He intended to cut domestic program by $54 billion so he could fund a much-needed boost in military spending...
...real spending cuts. They aren't cuts against some "baseline"..
...The budget plan is also remarkably strategic. These aren't mindless, across-the-board cuts...
...to drain the swamp, this is what it takes...
...Obama recklessly allowed our national defense capabilities to weaken...
...Trump's budget has caused big-government liberals to go into a state of apoplexy, spewing vitriol about how "heartless," "draconian," "extreme" it is...
...Trump has just given these Republicans a clear opportunity to back their promises with action. They'd be wise to take it.
This is going to be interesting --deep sixing baseline budgeting makes this a whole new ball game...
