In this episode, I discuss Donald Trump’s speech to Congress on February 28 and his recent budget proposal calling for a $54 billion increase in military spending. He proposes to cut foreign aid and the budgets of other federal agencies, including the EPA, to fund this spending increase. Predictably, though, Social Security and Medicare are completely off the table when it comes to spending cuts. Until those entitlement programs are on the table, nothing will change with this country’s finances. I also discuss Trump’s comments from his speech on Obamacare and trade.
