Trump's Budget

Thursday, March 23, 2017, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

So many things concerning Trump are happening this week that it was head to choose which to focus on. The few comments I received were about the national debt, so we will do a session on debt and Trump's budget.

The following videos show the magnitude of the national debt problem and how Trump's budget does not address it. Budget Director Mulvaney says that the current budget just addresses discretionary spending and a more complete budget is due later, but the even this partial budget is creating much alarm. Here are to videos for the meeting:

  2. I have been interested in executive orders for several years. The Emancipation Proclamation and the desegregation of the military were executive orders. I have googled the topic and hate to say but the best article is in Wikipedia! It has them by number and also discusses proclamations and of course, I can't find the article to cite here but there are others.
