The 3 percent is Mulvaney's number, though they report that Meals on Wheels would likely get cut due to reductions in Health and Human Services.
I think any argument on the basis of this being 'cost-cutting' are pretty much null and void due to the fact that it's doing nothing to cut the deficit. It's reallocating money from programs like Meals on Wheels and putting it back into military, DHS, VA and a few other things. If someone thinks that's the right move, ok, but it's bizarre to see people talking about this being a conservative budget in terms of spending reductions.

Lots of things should be cut first of course (and never will be), but

Speaking of cuts that should happen but won't, I look forward to Trump's tantrum tomorrow when ObamaCare 2 dies.

Re: The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump
It would be great except for the fact he's just putting the money into military spending and his ridiculous wall, the two things most in need of cuts.digster wrote:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pos ... a34c91ee75

I feel like this will either get really wild in the next week or two, or just sort of piddle out completely unresolved.

CNN wrote:Washington (CNN)The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign, US officials told CNN.
This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, according to one source.
The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.
