We have brian here, our political analysts. What does the budget say about president Donald Trumps priorities. Whether you like the Budget Proposal or not, its exactly what he talked about on the campaign trail. He wanted to increase defense spending and provide more security to the United States and take care of our veterans, all of that means that other agencies are going to give up part of their budgets to the tune of 57 billion. There is a lot in the budget, its being called one of the most conservative budgets ever, they slash a lot of programs and make big cuts to the state department, the epa and health and human services. The argument is, we do not have the money to pay for all of that stuff. You have to make choices, three agencies are winners and 12 others are giving the money to put towards defense and those things. Remember what paul ryan said, this is the beginning, this goes on every budget. Lets talk about the travel ban. Its been struck down by judges, at what point does President Donald Trump say, i give up, or will he fight this to the supreme court. He will not be able to craft a travel order that will not be struck down. Some judge will strike it down. He has to go with an order and accepted it through the court system or go to congress and ask for a new law. The judges said they based the rulings on comments he made on the campaign trail, will that hold up . The decisions are based on the fact that President Donald Trump said on the campaign trail that muslims should be banned. Thats something to be thought about, but the order is the order and its carried out by a lot of other people. Its an interesting circumstance to hear them talking about what the candidate said.
