Trump's budget reveals a tremendous fraud

[Zorro]

For once, President Trump spoke the truth.

“We’re doing a lot of things that are good, including waste and fraud,” he said Monday, as his administration released its proposed budget. “Tremendous waste and tremendous fraud.”

No question about it! Trump’s budget is a tremendous fraud — and it lays tremendous waste to his promises.

Remember when he said he would eliminate the federal debt, or at least halve it, during his presidency? His new budget proposes to add another $3.4 trillion by 2024 to the debt on top of the $3 trillion Trump has already added, by piling on $1-trillion-a-year budget deficits during a peacetime expansion. Under Trump’s latest plans, the debt would keep mushrooming until at least 2035 — by his administration’s own rosy projections.

3. The grand GOP ruse is now on hyperdrive.

The would be king is providing them the “opportunity” to once and for all stick a fork in Social Security, Medicare, education and welfare programs. Oh, and perhaps even the federal bureaucracy to boot; privatize everything to get rid of this pesky “libruls” created deficit! It’s their wildest fantasy come true in the shape of a fat deranged narcissist on steroids.

Thank God we have the House!
