During us from capitol hill is nancy, senior Congressional Correspondent for bloomberg. Tell us about what the president requested for 2018 and what were his Top Priorities. The president stuck with the overall number in the loss, the budget control act, requesting that basically a little bit over a trillion dollars, 1. 1 trillion as the law allows for but with in and that number we really parted from the budget control act numbers and he requested a lot more for defense programs about 54 billion for securityrelated programs and covers that with an equal amount of cuts in nondefense spending, 54 billion. Thats a violation of the budget control act there but more than that its a very politically unpopular. Yes, members really like the defense number increase but they dont like taking it out of defense programs, agriculture, cut more than 20 . Transportation, federal housing programs, cut 15 . Labor, health, education rams, cut similarly. State department programs, cut tremendously. Cong

Some people with preexisting conditions, many of them would no longer be able to afford coverage of any kind. The c. B. O. Report confirmed that gutting essential Health Benefits means many people would see huge Cost Increases for basic coverage like maturnt care, opioid addictions and Mental Health treatment. E report also confirmed that any injury or notice of an illness, Many Americans will find they have been paying for Health Coverage that doesnt cover much at all.

Mr. Sanders before we go further, i find it a little bit unfair that mr. Mulvaney and many people in the Trump Administration disparage the director of the c. B. O. When it was tom price, the former republican chairman of the budget committee, who appointed who appointed dr. Hall in the first place. Lets get that clear. Mr. Mulvaney, as you know, the United States today has more income and wealth inequality than any major country on earth. Top. 1 now owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 . 52 of all new income today is going to the top 1 . But your budget thinks that it is good Public Policy to provide 52 billion in tax breaks to the wealthiest family in this country, a family already worth 128 billion. You think that a family like the Walton Family, where one guy there owns four ferraris and one maserati that are worth more than d 65 million, are just in desperate need of massive, massive tax breaks. En think that shelled aidleson, who among other things contributed 5 million fo

With him. They were the administrators and they wanted to see how it happens because there was a lot of resistance from the seniors who were very vocal. They didnt want to change the Food Voucher Program because they were used to that for over 20 years. Anyway, in may, 2014, they had a procurement meeting with all the different vendors. They look at different models how they can implement this because resources are pretty scarce and they didnt have the type of infrastructure that we have, but they have restaurants and they have schools, they looked at schools. But finely they nothing that i have went with was working with caterers and having the restaurants be able to provide the food for the different senters that they will offer the new program. There are 15 new sites where they started this program in different parts of the island. Interestingly they wanted to start out with a few pilot programs, but nobody wanted to start so they said oh the heck with it. This is a sample of the me
