Trump Unveils New Budget

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump has unveiled a $4.8 trillion election year budget plan that recycles previously rejected cuts to domestic programs to promise a balanced budget in 15 years. That’s while boosting the military and leaving Social Security and Medicare benefits untouched. The fiscal 2021 plan promises the government’s deficit will crest above $1 trillion only for the current budget year before steadily decreasing to more manageable levels. Trump says the plan “sets the course for a future of continued American dominance and prosperity.” But it has little chance of passing in the divided Congress.
