His budget is set to increase the debt. This is well known. You didn't answer the question because you cannot.
What question? If you're asking about debt, I stated in an earlier post that everything should be cut. Trumps budget doesn't go far enough.
I'm guessing you'd cherry pick and cut defense while leaving the other budgets the same or increasing them and all the while acting as though you are fiscally responsible (whatever that means).
I agree with it. 20 Trillion dollars in debt. What we've been doing isn't working. If borrowing money to pay my rent, I don't continue to go out and eat every night. I lower the costs to maintain the budget.
That's the responsible thing to do.
You think Trump knows anything about being responsible with money? The guy filed bankruptcy 4 times. People who vote for him thinking he will be able to balance the budget or decrease our deficit is delusional at best.
My grade school kid knows more about money than Trump. You don't spend money you don't have. Period.
Yes, and he's going to decrease income with massive tax cuts.
I prefer to say he is increasing the income of those who actually work for it.
I wouldn't shed any tears if the almighty state takes less of anyones money from them.

Trump is increasing debt/decreasing income. We don't need a wall. We don't need more of a nuclear arsenal as Trump noted. We are a country that innovates. That is where we should focus our energies, not on blue-collar jobs that have no future and only harm people. Not on decreasing revenue with massive tax cuts for the wealthy.
Every time we have a Republican in the White House we end up in a recession. Never fails.

You don't know who is getting the tax cuts yet so you are assuming it is the working class.
When you are earning 75,000K a year -- you work hard for that money -- you don't get any of the entitlements for lower income and you get none of the tax credits for higher income -- and it always seems that tax bracket gets hit. They pedal faster and faster and faster and are just staying put or lagging a bit behind.
Many of you Trump supporters have great faith that the tax cuts will be given to those most deserving...we can debate the 'deserving' part but you don't have a clue.
You don't know what the tax reforms are.
You think, hope, believe, but you don't know.
None of us do until we see what the final proposal is.
This is only one side of the budget -- let's see the whole picture and then talk.
That's possible. Even if that does not happen, I'm really skeptical about how much this budget is influenced by the military industrial complex, and the corporations that will make billions off the infrastructure projects.

I'm not assuming anything, tax cuts are good, period. Ideally we all get them.

I don't know if you're wealthy, but if you're a regular shmoe like me and most your 401k is going to take a massive hit when we go into the next recession that follows these tired practices of giving the wealthy more money. Inboil.

Yep, it's the middle class taking the hits in both directions, which is why I'm not a liberal either.
