Mnuchin can use his financial wizardry to keep the treasury afloat for a few more months, apparently. As long as he gives his first-born grandchild to the friendly gnome that spins straw into T-Bills for him.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC

Badger of Basra posted:

it's insanely complicated and i don't think congress has actually passed a budget in the prescribed way in like, 20 years. maybe one in 2009 when the dems had everything

the president can give congress a budget but the thing they consider isn't obligated to look anything like the budget he gives them, it's just a very long way of setting out his priorities

for example obama gave congress budgets every year of his presidency, including the ones where republicans controlled both houses. basically none of the new stuff in those budgets got done

True. Although I'm sure we'll see an increase in military spending and a cut in everything else within Republican control on Congress.

The only question is how much. Here's the full federal funding changes Trump is asking for btw:

+10% budget increase to the Defense Department.
+7% budget increase to Homeland Security.
+6% budget increase to Veterans Affairs.
-1% budget decrease to NASA.
-4% budget decrease to Treasury and Justice Departments.
-6% budget decrease to Energy Department.
-12% budget decrease to Interior Department.
-13% budget decrease to Transportation and HUD Departments.
-14% budget decrease to Education Department.
-16% budget decrease to Commerce Department.
-18% budget decrease to Health and Human Services.
-21% budget decrease to Agriculture and Labor Departments.
-29% budget decrease to State Department.
-31% budget decrease to the Environmental Protection Agency.

something rich liberals decry as "racsexism" because asking for actual safety nets and universal health care is like speaking the 14 words, also hating women somehow even though they would be most benefitted by such policies
