Trump wants $1.5tn for the Pentagon – and cuts to healthcare and housing
The president’s proposed $445bn increase in military spending would batter popular domestic programs as millions struggle.
Regardless of how many social programs are cut, the only way this could ever be financed is by debt monetization. The Chinese won't dribble out their mountain of USTs, they'll spray them on the market wholesale with a firehose. Given His Trumpness low popularity and political capital, there's little chance of this budget going thru as proposed, but what it will do is lock up the CONgress Critters in fruitless jawboning, nothing will get done and we'll have yet another budget crises, this time maybe ending in a default to really trash the value of the dollar.
Hard to imagine how one man could possibly have done more to destroy what was left of Amerika in such a short period of time than The Donald. Osama Bin Ladin as POTUS would be less destructive.
