Trump budget hard on 'forgotten' rural American supporters

An opposing view ... Many members of Congress are predictably denouncing and dismissing the proposed cuts in the Presidents proposed Budget. However, as with most politicians who feel they are accountable only to themselves, they are in denial of the large reforms needed to ward off a inevitable Greek-style financial crisis in this country. Nonetheless, it is a FACT that we are headed in that direction unless we dispense with business-as-usual budgeting in Washington. Accordingly, despite all the hyperbole and vitriolic commentary (mainly from the whiny Liberal base - but a few Republicans as well), the Trump budget is a challenge to Congress to start paring back our dangerously bloated welfare state. So despite the protestations of Uncle Bernie and his unicorn economics vision - there is no magic money tree in Washington, as the $20 trillion federal debt makes clear.

Loved listening to Paul Ryan claiming Congress finally has a president that is willing to propose a balance budget. Think he meant to say, GOP finally has a president that wants a budget filled with tax cuts for wealthy, increased defense industry spending, cuts to social programs and healthcare, and my favorite, the trillions in savings will come from projected growth in economy even though there is no plan for growing the economy. HAHAHA!
