http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/17/us/politics/trump-mick-mulvaney-budget-office.html?_r=0In Mick Mulvaney, Trump Finds Anti-Establishment Leader for Budget Office
On Saturday, President-elect Donald J. Trump said he would nominate Mr. Mulvaney, a founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus the group that led the takedown of John A. Boehner as speaker to be his budget director. Hes a tremendous talent, especially when it comes to numbers and budgets, Mr. Trump said in a statement.
In Mr. Mulvaney, Mr. Trump has chosen for the Office of Management and Budget a spending hard-liner to join an economic team that could be ideologically in conflict, setting up possible collisions during major policy-making next year.
I hope he's almost done picking people. I don't think I can handle more bad news His choices have gone from bad to worse! his Mulvaney creature is promoting more of the congressional behavior that everyone HATED! I wonder who opted for HIM? Uday or Kusey?

He has received one of the few A+ ratings in the entire legislature from the South Carolina Club for Growth.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_for_Growth
The Club for Growth is a 501(c)(4) conservative[2] organization active in the United States, with an agenda focused on cutting taxes and other economic issues.[3] The Club has two political arms: an affiliated traditional political action committee, called the Club for Growth PAC, and Club for Growth Action, an independent-expenditure only committee or Super-PAC.
According to its website, the Club for Growth's policy goals include cutting income tax rates, repealing the estate tax, supporting limited government and a balanced budget amendment, entitlement reform, free trade, tort reform, school choice, and deregulation.[1] The Club for Growth PAC endorses and raises money for candidates who meet its standards for fiscal conservatism. According to Politico, "The Club for Growth is the pre-eminent institution promoting Republican adherence to a free-market, free-trade, anti-regulation agenda."
