Good evening folks
So, Trump's first budget hit the deck today. Interesting, but nothing surprising. Unilateral cuts in everything but security spending. While I believe in a strong defense, given our obvious military superiority, I don't know if I agree with defunding social institutions and regulatory agencies in order to needlessly extenuate it. It's like we overnight said 'fuck human development, we needz more gunz!'.
Also, not seeing anything addressing entitlements. We never seem to get around to appropriately taxing the elite, but that's an argument for another time. 1.5 trillion. I want to see how the GOP reacts to this, they have been a long proponent of a balanced budget and this, is not that.
Thoughts?
We may not know but there are major and concrete reasons why this kind of budgeting occurs. The possible reason is the threat of a War, if you have heard about the missile launching of North Korea towards the north sea of Japan then you will realize that those missile can reach the United States of America. Trump has increased or prioritized the budget on the military not only to protect the sovereignty of America but also its allied countries who are at risk.
