ANSWER THE QUESTION------------->Who controls the purse strings of the United States? Who submits the budget?
The budget process starts and ends with the President.
The process is started by the President presenting to congress his spending request (for which Trump submitted the largest in our country's history) this is the baseline the House starts with and it goes from there. Once done with the House it goes to the Senate and once approved by the Senate it is signed by the President.
There is no innocent party in the process of putting us 23 trillion dollars in to debt as a nation.
