President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for fiscal year (FY) 2021 proposes to significantly reduce the size and reach of the federal bureaucracy by focusing federal activities on constitutional priorities and empowering state and local governments to address other issues closer to the people.

to accomplishing what you came to do. it will be trumpism over ryanism and that must be a bitter pill to swallow. i don t see things like that. one of the first things that i did was tax reform and it was not done since i ve gotten my driver s license. it s done. since becoming speaker, i spent great time with our intelligence community, becoming greatly concerned about the state of the military. and so i really focused on the rebuild of the military and that is you in done and under way and i am very, very pleased with that. enterprise zones. i worked with enterprise zones when i worked with jack kemp. there are so many things and the one thing that obviously i care a great deal about is entitlement reform and in particular health care entitlement reform. i feel gratified that ever since i was budget chair of the house, every term passed a budget to balance the budget and pay down the debt. we have not gotten it through the senate or the white house.
sounds riveting. in the guest spot today is dan gross, the columnist and global business editor for newsweek daily beast who says in his latest piece republicans still haven t recognized the new reality. dan, you may be right. i don t know. i guess we ll see. if republicans do agree to raise taxes, do you think that democrats will agree to any health care entitlement reform? which is the harder sell? no, i don t think so. that s why i m so pessimistic or actually so optimistic about going over this fiscal cliff. usually when i threaten to write about something every day until it is resolved, it gets resolved quickly. we ll see in this case. that s power. the election kind of ratified the stance. which is the bush tax cuts should expire for those making over a certain amount. the steps republicans are taking while useful in negotiating.
second, the congressional budget office did look at president s budget and it has $400 billion of deficit reduction over 10 years. an average of $40 billion of it will deficit reduction in the president s budget. that is according to the c.b.o., $1.45 trillion increase. it does not come close to fixing our problem. but more to the point, chris, the president has had four years it deal with this. $4 trillion deficit. four times he decided to do nothing to get the debt under control and he did disavow simpson-bowles and i didn t vote for it because it did not deal with health care entitlement reform. and the president has yet to propose a bill to fix this problem.
