Budget Proposal: Fill & Download for Free

BecausePelosi got the House to pass a CR. It’s virtually the same as the one the Senate passed in December. McConnell won’t let it come up for a vote because Trump says he won’t sign it. That’s the real offer on the table.Trump’s “budget proposal” is a joke. The biggest piece he’s “offering” is a 3-year extension of DACA. The courts have already said he can’t simply do away with DACA. So what’s he really offering here? “I won’t do what the courts won’t let me do”?Trump’s “budget proposal” is a joke, part II: this morning, a bill has been made available that would implement his proposal. Mirabile dictu, it suddenly has a number of significant changes to immigration law, including that many people from Central American countries would no longer be able to apply for asylum on US soil, but would have to apply at a “processing center” somewhere in Central America. That, um, doesn’t exist yet. And won’t exist for some undetermined period of time as they decide where to put it, then build and staff it. Which I’m sure they wouldn’t drag their feet on at all. But somehow this was too trivial for Trump to have mentioned at all in the speech touting the “offer”.tl;dr: Trump is a bad faith negotiator.

What is your opinion about President Trump increasing the budget of NASA from $18.5 billion to $19.5 billion?My opinion is that you’ve been hoodwinked by a fake news site. You should fact-check anything you see about Trump.NASA’s budget in 2017 was not $18.5 billion. It was $19.5 billion.Budget of NASAThe budget proposal for the next fiscal year is $19.1 billion. This is a decrease, not an increase.The budget proposal is a proposal, not an actual budget. The President of the United States does not and can not assign money. Congress does that.The proposed budget cuts several NASA programs, mainly but not exclusively focusing on earth science. Under Trump’s proposal, NASA will also be forced to cut basic space science missions, including the Europa lander mission.Trump's NASA budget cancels Europa lander and Asteroid Redirect MissionTrump’s biggest budget cuts to NASA: ranked

President Obama was inaugurated in Jan of 2009; from that moment until Oct 1, 2009, Obama was operating under President Bush's final budget with a $1.4 trillion deficit, which was 9.8% of GDP.Obama's first budget, for the 2010 fiscal year, had a $1.29 trillion deficit, which was 8.7% of GDP.Obama's final budget, 2017, had a deficit of $665 billion (3.5% of GDP), meaning he cut the deficit by more than half of GWB's final budget, and just under half of his first.President Trump's first budget, fiscal 2018, had a $779 billion deficit (3.8% GDP). 2019 saw these numbers increase to $984 billion/4.6%, and 2020′s record-setting budget is predicted to easily eclipse those numbers (EDIT 4/3/2020: I have now found Trump's budget proposal; the requested deficit was $1.1 trillion).
