Fantastic! Tax cuts for billionaires and no wall or any real campaign promises! Hooray for Reagonomics!

You seem confused about the difference between a budget and a tax plan. The two are completely different: the budget, which is negotiated twice a year, is intended to allocate cash for certain projects. The tax plan relates to the laws regarding how much of our income is provided to the government to maintain it's services.
And as far as the budget is concerned, you are incorrect about that too.
Here is a copy/pasted comment I posted earlier:
What do you hear the president saying with his new budget? That funding the military replenishment is a major priority and so is border security because President Trump also negotiated budget to double the number of cells to hold illegal Mexicans captured by ICE agents. AND replace huge sections of flimsy, 8 foot chicken-wire border fencing with big, beautiful 20 foot tall steel walls.
The message is that President Trump just met another huge campaign promise and took another fantastic step forwards towards border security.
I'm hoping President Trump will use the wall as a bargaining chip during the September budget negotiations to again get something else that he wants, perhaps funding for the huge tax reforms or the massive infrastructure renewal projects? I'm expecting the wall and NASA funding to come after that, however I'm half expecting that President Trump is just fucking with the Democrats and doesn't ever expect them to agree to fund it, but plans to use confiscation of Mexican drug lord profits, taxes on sanctuary cities and tariffs to fund the wall.
That said, let's not forget how fucking ridiculous it is to expect every massive project for a four year term to be funded in the first 6 months budget. Remember how it took Obama over three years to finally get funding for his Obamacare cluster-fuck-clown-show and that only happened after his attempt to pass the Obamacare bill failed 54 times.
The Trump administration has been like Christmas everyday and I can't wait to find out what massive campaign promise the President delivers on next!
