republican party like paul ryan and the people around him who will say, well, what about entitlements, medicare and social security? maya will say something about that, too. this doesn t touch that. and that s an absolute promise trump made during the campaign he d not touch entitlements. puts him at odds with the more libertarian leaning republicans in congress. then on the other side you have big cuts at the state department and for international diplomacy and you have a lot of foreign policy hawks who like the defense increase but say, wait a second. if america is going to be strong in the world, you can t touch the state department in this way. and then the massive cuts in discretionary spending. a lot of programs for the poor. you ll have a lot of democrats who will complain about those cuts. and the one question for the white house is, how does this fit in how does this budget help the people that the trump victory was premised on? same question about the health care bills. how
won. heather: but the ryan budget was closing loopholes. the timing of all of this, even though the president s plan is not coming out until wednesday, details have begun to leak. in fact, just a few hours before the bureau of labor statistics announced the disappointing march jobs numbers. the economy added only 88,000 jobs last month. that is less than half of what some predicted. with this leak that has come out an effort to deflect from the bad jobs report and how if at all does this budget help create jobs? if it weren t for the bad news, the obama wouldn t make news, whether bankruptcies, foreclosures or the american people who have given up looking for work. the fact of the matter is, we shouldn t be leaking the president s budget. the president under law should have had his budget on or before february 1st.
people to work in this area. they ought to talk to the scientists who are toiling day and nature to develop the technologies and the cures with the potential to improve our economy and our health and our well-being. they might want to talk to the teachers who didn t get laid off, because of the budget help we gave the state of missouri. who are then going to be teaching our kids and they re being insent vicentivized how t business. so we have the best education system in the world or folks going to two-year or four-year colleges. that s how we ll take charge of our destiny. that s how we create jobs and lasting growth. that s how we ensure that america doesn t just limp along, maybe recover to where we were before but instead, that we re prospering. this nation leads the industries of the future. i mean, this has been a difficult time for america right now.
