We cannot blame the president for the mass insanity that is congress. We blame those populations that put slackers in congress who dont know how to do their jobs. Trump cannot let our defense languish.

The Dems (E.g.; liberals, socialists) will only use any federal funding to increase the size of their socialist programs that are counter productive to conservative values. The president should re-evaluate the defense spending budget after the 2020 elections, when he will have stronger Republicans (less moderates) to support him.

I want a balanced budget and reduced federal spending. I think Trump realizes that this is impossible since 90% of Congress wants to spend, spend, and spend more.
There are no fiscally conservative Republicans in DC. None. We need to get this point. Trump believes, I think, as long as we are going to spend more he must be sure
the best programs ( military, VA, ) must get a strong share.

I find it interesting that this plan was received so negatively, when the earlier tax plan (a cut with large deficits) received a 79+% favorable rating on this site. Both add over $1T to the debt.

I feel like our PoTUS is in a ‘d*mned if you do d*mned if you don’t’ position. Dems are more focused on taking him down than doing their jobs & he is distracted by their constant barrage..it’s amazing he has done as much as he has so far! He is not my favorite person but he is exactly what we need..he is the ‘get it done’ guy..willing to Rock the boat, take a risk, and to go against the tide for the best interests of the country. Never in history has a president been so blocked & disrupted. My feelings..he may not be the most socially upstanding guy historically, but he passed all the vetting and then some. The medias take a few words out of context & make it a headline against Trump. Like publishing that he had numerous company bankruptcies, so he is a bad businessnan…reality check is that he had acquired build or moved over a thousand businesses. Less than 25 of those the best choice was to fold or reorganize in Bk proceedings. Meanwhile he created jobs, created profitable businesses and added to the economy. That’s what I cannot stand..the Dem & Lib blatant lies to push their agenda. I say more power to this man & i pray he gets 4 more unobstructed years.

the same par as that of the office of the President of the United States and finally, after prayer for this nation and for the term limits, getting a law passed which would prohibit any attorney due to conflict of interest for ever running for the office of the Senate of House. It has been nothing but attorneys, not small business men and women who have literally ruined this nation’s financial structure. They make the errors, and then get air time to blame the “rich” or anyone but themselves for this mess. We need more CPA’s, Business minded men and women and folks from other vocations to run for these offices.

I hope and pray that 2020 keeps Trump, the Senate and get the power of the House back to the Republicans.
Then hopefully Trump can attempt balancing the budgt, work on congressional term limits, stop the path from congress to lobiest and put government employees in social security, Medicare and 401k plans instead of the current reducless lucrative pension plan the have.

I do not like this budget deal, but in short term this is about as good as it gets. An immediate concern is the bill co-sponsored by 19 gop senators to increase H1B visas. This bill will undercut wages This is gift to high tech companies who state the purpose is lack of workers. Trump , if he signs this, should put a huge tariff on every visa–20 to 30k annually. This tariff would level the field and reveal the real reason that the Koch brothers push this.

You’re joking right? This is what passes for responsible spending by Congress as it has over the last 3-4 decades. Politicians, any politician, should not be involved in spending bills or budgets. They have no clue. When interest rates rise in the coming years as well as the deficit, the budget will be swallowed up by mandatory payouts
(Social Security, welfare, Medicare and defense, interest on the debt) with no room for much of anything else. The deficit is going to keep rising into infinity or until the financial system blows up. Congress, including Republicans is a very sad state of affairs in every aspect of its existence.

If Obama hadn’t stripped the military and other needed projects to pay people who wouldn’t or couldn’t work, because he strangled the economy and killed manufacturing, we probably wouldn’t be in this mess. Also if Congress had allowed the President to do his top responsibility under the Constitution, i.e. protecting America and its citizens, i.e. controlling the border and national security, we wouldn’t have deficit increases. Question: Who is PAYING for illegal’s food, shelter, medical, education, etc? The American taxpayer because the democratic congress won’t do its job.

Best we could do-how much yada yada yada excuses this worn out phrase can ever be recycled. Can’t spending really be cut for a number of useless projects, studies, and other governmental excesses. Take care of citizens, notably illegals at the border get better treatment than do many of our own citizens. Are we so infused with left wing, fairy tale logic of so called progressives that we are helpless to do what we know is right. What we have done with mental health and the bonehead logic of letting those so affected struggle on their own daily with resulting homelessness, lack of food and sanitary living, and driving the communities down to blighted neighborhoods is nothing short of criminal. While for some independent living makes sense, for many others living and being institutional cared for really is the best option. The 50’s and 60’s model of county run farms and housing would provide many of these individual healthy, drug free environments to live in and actually thrive surrounded by people able to meet their daily mental and physical needs. Cost wise is this nation really saving any money “liberating” these folks presently? Instead of sweeping the costs under the rug of welfare, social justice, and social services, the straight forward costs of treating, housing, and caring for these individual would probably lessen. Radical thinking-perhaps. Ask me how I came to such thinking, a 35 mentally incapacitated son gave a wide learning curve on the present system and it’s true costs to affected individuals and society. Much more could be said on other topics but this is one example that plays out in my life daily.

I for one am tired of the games being played out in congress and wonder when someone is going to step up and put a stop to the democrat abuse we see every single day in Washington. We are supposed to be the ones in control of our own destiny and yet we are being held hostage by people who are not even american but occupying our government offices and telling us to shut up and sit down. Telling us that they are our bosses! And I don’t know what to think of a president who backs down from virtually every stand he attempts to make and the judges who should not have the power to supersede the rule of the sitting president at every corner. My question is when? When are we as a nation going to say “Enough” and flood Washington and drag all these want-to-be dictators out of our white house and take back our country? I sit anxiously awaiting redemption and a revolution.

You bums just spent a fortune on a wall for Zimbabwe ??? HOW ABOUT OUR BORDERS ??? YOU FOOLS !!! Your all talk while you secretly steal our freedoms behind close doors. TRAITORS !!!!!!!
Best we could do-how much yada yada yada excuses this worn out phrase can ever be recycled. Can’t spending really be cut for a number of useless projects, studies, and other governmental excesses. Take care of citizens, notably illegals at the border get better treatment than do many of our own citizens. Are we so infused with left wing, fairy tale logic of so called progressives that we are helpless to do what we know is right. What we have done with mental health and the bonehead logic of letting those so affected struggle on their own daily with resulting homelessness, lack of food and sanitary living, and driving the communities down to blighted neighborhoods is nothing short of criminal. While for some independent living makes sense, for many others living and being institutional cared for really is the best option. The 50’s and 60’s model of county run farms and housing would provide many of these individual healthy, drug free environments to live in and actually thrive surrounded by people able to meet their daily mental and physical needs. Cost wise is this nation really saving any money “liberating” these folks presently? Instead of sweeping the costs under the rug of welfare, social justice, and social services, the straight forward costs of treating, housing, and caring for these individual would probably lessen. Radical thinking-perhaps. Ask me how I came to such thinking, a 35 mentally incapacitated son gave a wide learning curve on the present system and it’s true costs to affected individuals and society. Much more could be said on other topics but this is one example that plays out in my life daily.
Obama is the main cause of what we are looking at as major deficit. The Dems are the major cause of not funding infrastructure and depleted military. I think that Trump is just trying to get done what he needs to do and then I believe we will see a clampdown the likes as you have never seen before. People are so quick to criticize and rush to judgment. Give the man a chance for God’s sake. Be critical on yourselves before you start complaining about some else.
I like Senator Rand Paul’s plan – cut out the pork and put that money to better use. I hear the President say billions are coming into our treasury – so what is that money being spent on? I support President Trump, no matter what and just hope and pray his tax plans put us in the black.
The Commucrats will spend us into oblivion with all their “domestic programs” to help ILLEGAL invaders of our country – and screw the American citizens! And, ALL Rino Republicans need to start voting WITH Trump. or be voted out of office ASAP. They are only proving Republican politicians have no backbones, and helping the likes of the new Quad Maxi-pad Squad. I’m fed up with these Commucrats, and their George Soros-funded hate groups like the pucks that severely bet a NYC gallery owner simply for wearing a Make America Great Again hat. with a name like, Jahangir “John” Turan, he may or may not have been born in the USA. But, I’ll bet he’s LEGAL. It’s time to start standing up against these Socialists, and use their own playbook against them. Start protesting! Start beating the hell out of any socialist who dares to show their political allegiance with the clothing they wear! Bare arms, if necessary, as was the intent of the 2nd Amendment – to protect our citizens from our own government. If we don’t, this country is doomed to become the next USSR – the USSA United Socialist States of America. and in the years to come the USSA will inevitably meet the same demise. WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!
I find this new budget deal more than disgusting, the R’s know better but the RINO sect seems to intervene in commonsense and rational thought…This to me proves without doubt We the People, Need term limits no retirement for “all” elected and appointed gov officials…We are running on empty and our representation is ignored even when we pay way to high a price for far to many parasites….We can also use to account for spending and taxes, a repeal of the 16th amend to remove progressive taxation and the income tax..We can replace it easily with a Ballot Driven Consumption Tax and put a end to social and tax discrimination, yearly tax anxiety and cut the cost of government by having a taxpayer and voter’s say in how and why we are paying a tax and what is it being spent for..in other words regain our representation which we cherish and pay for…..MAGA is the goal……America for Americans is a fact…….I am tired of being a citizen of America the Abused….
I for one am tired of the games being played out in congress and wonder when someone is going to step up and put a stop to the democrat abuse we see every single day in Washington. We are supposed to be the ones in control of our own destiny and yet we are being held hostage by people who are not even american but occupying our government offices and telling us to shut up and sit down. Telling us that they are our bosses! And I don’t know what to think of a president who backs down from virtually every stand he attempts to make and the judges who should not have the power to supersede the rule of the sitting president at every corner. My question is when? When are we as a nation going to say “Enough” and flood Washington and drag all these want-to-be dictators out of our white house and take back our country? I sit anxiously awaiting redemption and a revolution.
