Trump budget

Plus $119 Billion in additional spending on national defense. In the end, this budget, if passed would likely increase the national debt.

And that is before they attempt to cut taxes.

 

I have stuff to say but need to find a real article first.

this is not a budget cut it is a reprioritization of spending that will result in an increased budget deficit.

 

We are not serious about cutting federal spending unless we are going to get serious and slash the military by at least $500B and the intelligence community by another $500B - $1T in off budget spending. Otherwise, this is nothing but what it appears to be, war on Trumps enemies and opponents and nothing more.

 

Why would we need to increase military spending if we're heading towards isolationism and no longer supporting our allies to the same extent?

 

Because parades with tanks flying trumps likeness is cool to an audience of 1.

 

Gotta budget for the important stuff

Army plans massive four-hour parade on Trump's birthday

 

No budget cut?

 

I can't figure if the $163 billion in cuts is the net difference or if it's $163 billion in cuts to non defense programs combined with $119 billion in increased defense spending (meaning the net difference is $44 billion in cuts). Does anyone know?

 

That is truly disgusting.

 

It’s just his proposal of what he would like to see in the FY26 budget. It’s up to congress to come up with the actual budget and pass it.

 

Obviously channeling his inner Stalin.

 

Four hours?! Who wants to sit through that? The Macy’s parade is already unbearable at 3 hours…

 

Are there even enough Sousa marches to fill 4 hours?

 

Maybe Trump will add commentary like he did at his July 4th military parade during his first term when he described how the Continental Army seized airfields from the British.

Consider who created this budget. Trump and his team probably don't even know the answer to your question and you will lose brain cells trying to figure it out

 

You libbies ….

 

Wonder if he’ll sell advertising for the 4 hour event

 

Absolutely hilarious. $163 billion is approximately 2.3% of the federal budget. And we'll lose far more revenue than that due to the certain tax cuts, and lost revenue collection due to gutting the IRS.

We'll know that Trump is serious about cutting spending when he proposes a legitimate version of the Grand Bargain (look it up, OP).

In the meantime, Trump is doing nothing, and his supporters are content to accept basically doing nothing as ..... "a start."

It's almost like Trump only wanted to get elected to stay out of prison, give himself a big tax cut, and enable massive opportunities to grift. Who could have ever predicted that?
