yes. because the country that spends more on the military than the next 7 countries combined needs more military spending.

but how dare anyone say we can afford universal healthcare.

He also says he wants to leave entitlements alone and cut taxes. Which will balloon the deficit.

Even fox admits it.

"By increasing defense and leaving Medicare and Social Security untouched, the Trump final budget plan is sure to project sizable deficits."

It'll be interesting to see how this goes over with the freedom caucus

    I'm more interested to see the crowd on here that whines about government spending ignoring this while sucking Trump's dick.

    if we're spending to make sure poor people can eat that's terrible.

    but if our money is going towards bombing brown people that's okay

    Really? I thought you would be more interested in caring about the deficit again after taking 8 years off
    Do you even pay attention. Of course I cared about the deficit under Obama. He did a shitty job the last few years getting it under control in setting the budget. And Republicans, who controlled Congress, did nothing about the deficit either.

    The Law and Order President.

    More weapons, cops, arrests, privatized prisons, death. Less help for the poor people in this country that need: jobs, healthcare, education.

    Bigger military and DHS (CBP) should mean more jerbs, but I don't think there's enough qualified candidates.

    Need some serious infrastructure maintenance up in this bitch. ROADS! BRIDGES! MAKE AMERICA'S FREEWAYS GREAT AGAIN!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!!!1!

    He's gonna cut foreign aid too. I'm ok with cuts there, but should be plowed back into social services. Help AMERICANS first.

    The tax cuts? Where? Whom? Likely it's tax cuts for the rich and corps. Yay! More trickle down economics.

    Trump also said on Monday he would talk about his plans for infrastructure spending in a speech to Congress on Tuesday. "We're going to start spending on infrastructure big," he said
    This is from reuters.

    where is this money coming from?

    Trump should have told us he wanted to build up the military and spend a bunch on infrastructure.

    just because they were campaign promises doesn't mean they were feasible.

    Tax Cuts, increases in military, infrastructure, no cuts to entitlements. I'm not one to fear monger about debt but we may actually go belly up if that agenda goes through
