This is only a small part of a long piece from The Fiscal Times...
I see this white house budget as only a political shot and not anything expected to pass.
It is beyond ridiculous in cutting domestic programs while maxing out on the D o D and keeping/extending tax cuts..
Trump’s $4.8 Trillion Fiscal Fantasy
The Trump White House on Monday released a $4.8 trillion budget for 2021 that calls for steep reductions in spending on safety net programs including Medicaid while proposing greater outlays for the military and an extension of the 2017 Republican tax cuts.
The budget is almost certainly dead on arrival, with no chance of passing in the current Congress, but it signals the administration’s priorities for a possible second term while providing both Republicans and Democrats with political fodder heading into the 2020 e******n.
The administration’s budget is consistent with those offered in the previous three years – though in ways that highlight how far the president has moved from his campaign platform in 2016, which promised, among other things, cheaper health care for everyone, a border wall paid for by Mexico and the elimination of the national debt. “On immigration, health care, infrastructure and the deficit, the final budget pitch of Trump’s first term will look much different from the campaign platform he offered four years ago,” Jeff Stein and Erica Werner of The Washington Post said Monday.
