Gave it a quick read, would give it 3 stars out of 5 in the Science Fiction category - pretty much like any other Presidential budget. The Republicans have their pet spending ideas, the Democrats have their's, just shifting the costs around, and rosy predictions. Some quick observations.
1.) Any estimate past two years is an educated guess, anything past 5 years is just a plain guess.
2.) The 3% GDP growth rate, while possible, is pretty optimistic. If that doesn't happen, the future year estimates are garbage.
3.) Government spending continues to rise.
4.) Note that the budget still shows revenue from the estate & gift tax, thought the President was going to abolish that.
5.) Since the tax reform is still conceptual, hard to predict the effect. The budget seems to assume that revenues will continue to increase without missing a beat. How the President will implement HUGE tax cuts and still pull that off is beyond me.
6.) There is that 2 trillion in "effect of economic feedback". I've heard that it is the revenue increase that makes the tax cuts revenue neutral. If that is true, then his budget table (S-1) is correct. Not sure you can also then show that 2 trillion as a separate line item on Table S-2 as deficit reduction. That needs clarification.
7.) the "two-penny Plan' (1.4 trillion in savings) is pretty nebulous.
8.) There is still an increase of a trillion dollars in the national debt over the next two years. And continued increases after that.
Guess I'll need to dive in with some more detail later.
I guess reality and liberal hyperbole is a hard choice for you to make
but
THE ESTATE TAX is the law until it is abolished by congress.
Stay with me here...
CONGRESS is not Donald Trump.
I know hating Donald Trump is paramount in the minds of every democrat. I understand your devotion to the agenda.
CONGRESS is an elected body. Its members are elected along something called a CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS is not another name for Donald Trump.
Other than the horrible years under Obama, three percent is a strong rate of growth. You are confused by the paltry movement along those lines made common by the FORMER President, Obama.
Obama is not another name for Donald Trump.
There is another item in the budget proposed by President Trump that address reducing government. The budget proposes closing down a number of agencies that created by the executive branch but were never approved by CONGRESS.
CONGRESS is not another name for Donald Trump.
