it s a simple message, i put myself in the shoes of that steal worker in ohio. the coal mining family in west virginia the mother of two in detroit and say i have to ask these folks for mauoney and i he to tell them where i have to spend it and can i really say i m going to take money from you and give it to the broadcast funding. you and i both know it doesn t come over one by one, they come over in large appropriations bills and we ll work with congress to make determinations whether or not to sign appropriations bills or veto them at the appropriate time. there are several places in the budget where you re talking about eliminating funding for unauthorized programs are you laying down a marker and do you think spending discipline will be improved if congress
a look at some of the winners and losers. good evening. there are two words that the president s budget director used to describe the budget, mick mulvaney saying this is all about hard power. in putting together the discretionary budget, mick mulvaney said he listened to the promises the president made during the campaign and created a budget policy for each and every one. we had an america first candidate. we now have an america first president and we have an america first budget. first priority is defense spending, 10% bump, $54 billion. homeland security gets an additional 3 billion while veterans affairs will add $4.4 billion. 1.5 billion will be tapped to begin construction of the border wall with 2.6 billion mark may next year. to offset the increases, state department faces a 20% cut. most of the $10 billion slashed
