Not surprisingly, @realdonaldtrump’s @OMBPress Acting Director hasn’t done an assessment of the effects of cutting our Army Corp & infrastructure funds.

And he hasn’t incorporated any funding to prepare for the effects of #climatechange or sea level rise.
Much of the news coverage assumes #Trumpbudget will be taken seriously.

So far under @realDonaldTrump, Congress has three times passed bipartisan, bicameral spending measures that pretty much ignored Trump White House. politico.com/story/2019/03/…
Maybe this time will be different, but don’t bet on it.

When you start with a ludicrous budget, and no one in the administration can be trusted to negotiate with, you dial yourself out of the conversation.

Congress has the power of the purse.

I would bet on another bipartisan, bicameral spending measure.

When do we fix the glitch of all the benefits going to really rich people and big corporations?

When do we fix the glitch of people making a million dollars paying lower tax rates than nurses? thehill.com/policy/finance…
When do we fix the glitch of rewarding companies with tax favors for moving jobs overseas?
