Meanwhile, Trump's Budget Is A Betrayal Of Everything Americans Claim To Value | Crooks and Liars
"This budget is a shot across the bow of Western Democracy itself, and even some Congressional Republicans don't want to touch it, despite how closely it resembles traditional GOP scripture. That's a good thing, too - it means that the GOP is either getting worried about the optics of defending the indefensible or that The Truth About Trump is sinking in at last. That truth is this: when he doesn't rely on assumptions or faulty math to govern, Trump relies on bluster - and when that fails, he's got nothing to stand on. Putting laughable math and hideous ethics into writing - into budget proposal form - makes these things concrete in a way that all of the political rhetoric in the world can't."
