Trump's Federal Budget Plan

Apparently Trump is focused on increased spending on the military, claiming that the U.S. military is "depleted." The proposed budget plan is also going to see cutbacks on federal agencies.

Full story here.

Your thoughts?

President Eisenhower's farewell speech is still relevant:

Increased military spending coupled with tax cuts and cuts to federal agencies is a recipe for disaster.

I love that the department with a fleet of band-new tanks parked in the desert because they don't know what to do with them, is the only one Trump thinks is hurting for money.

Good, good. Keep digging that hole, Donnie.

I hope that means more work and GDP for US armories.

Thank God. It needs the cash infusion now that it's little more than a shell. :-P

Easier said than done. We've seen a number of generals come out against cutting State Department spending, there are a number of deficit hawk GOP senators who will oppose an increase in spending.

This is standard supply-side economics. Tried and true, the top earners will thrive while the bottom suffers.

You can't increase spending and cut taxes. And the military needs no more money.

Sure you can. Every Republican administration since Reagan has done so.

Excellent, we can increase military spending 10% by cutting climate change research and tax credits for single mothers. Long live the Emperor.

Agreed. I think he should make it a law that to become a "citizen" to be able to vote...you should have to serve in the military. It'd be an honor.

The only good bug is a dead bug!

Yes then Trump and his entitled friends and family won't have votes. I served. You know who I didn't vote for?

I don't think you got the reference.

We all know you voted for Hillary.

Obama got us into unnecessary wars now it's time to pay the bill.

Uh... some people sure like to live the life of a cattle...

It was Bush. Iraq. Remember?

Went over your head as well.

Go figure.

@IQ138: Bush is at fault too however under Bush 4 countries were bombed and under Obama 7 countries were bombed. Obama is also the first 2 term president to be at war for the full eight years. Peace prize my arse.

No, just stating facts. Thx.

You didn't get the reference, therefore your response.

Legos.

You didn't get it... toidI.

You're the worst alt/troll ever.

I chuckled.

For someone who has the username "IQ138," that obvious Starship Troopers reference flew right over your head... badly.
