Now budgets submitted by the President are just that. Submissions. For all practical purposes, they are recommendations that may or may not even serve as a starting point for congress. But the President asking for this bold figure sort of lays out the whole thing politically.
One way or the other, the President is committed to taking this political stand. Something tells me that it will continue to remain an issue all the way through the 2020 election.

"He has the personality of a man who sits on the corner stool in a darkened bar, hunched over a glass of tepid, flat beer, boasting to anyone in earshot about how great he is and all the things he has done in his life. In reality he is just lonely old man with no one in his life, desperately crying out for attention because he lost everything..."
The GOP has championed anti intellectualism and ignorance for decades, because stupid people are easy to mislead, but the drawback of that is that it means your pool for new recruits is pretty poor. The only people left in the GOP are a bunch of hustlers, crackpots, weirdos and unintelligent assholes.
Thecoldheartedtruth is a prime example.
More Daily Kos shit really?

“Capitalism is an ideology of capital — the most important thing is the concentration of capital and to seek and maximize profit,” Ocasio-Cortez said. And that comes at any cost to people and to the environment, she said, “so to me capitalism is irredeemable.”

In book, McCabe bashes GOPers Gonzales,Mukasey,Sessions,Trump but praises Dems Obama,Holder,Lynch. Slams Tea Party & "right-wing media." Anti-Gitmo,anti-interrogation, pro-Islam. Met w Clinton op McAuliffe. Wife ran as Dem, donates Dem. Yet McCabe claims 100% GOP? Call me skeptical
Trump wants $8.6 billion in new funding, beyond the $6.7 billion he's yanking out from other programs with his "emergency."
Mexico is still not paying for it.

(ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the third-ranking House Republican, on Sunday criticized President Donald Trump’s reported plan to force U.S. allies to pay billions of dollars more for hosting American troops on their soil.
Under a new formula devised by the president, allies such as Japan and South Korea would potentially pay Washington the full cost of stationing U.S. troops in their territory, plus an additional 50 percent.
The formula, which Trump has dubbed “cost plus 50,” could cause affected countries to contribute five times what they currently do, according to The Washington Post.
Cheney, a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, told NBC’s “Meet The Press” that the impact of this plan would be “absolutely devastating” to U.S. diplomacy.
“We benefit tremendously ... [from] our bases and our cooperation with our allies,” she told host Chuck Todd. “The notion that we are somehow now going to charge them cost plus 50 is really, it’s wrongheaded and it would be devastating to the security of our nation and to our allies.”
Cheney said she wouldn’t support such a formula, but would not say whether her party would.
Dick Cheney's daughter.
read the cheney piece already, alky.
your point?
She's making the same thing I have talked about. Trump has been withdrawing the United States from NATO. Vladimir Putin is thrilled. We decided not to be isolationist when we entered World War Two, and both parties supported the cold war, that lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union. He's so ignorant of history, that he makes decisions upon his guts, not on our intelligence community.
“We benefit tremendously from] our bases and our cooperation with our allies. The notion that we are somehow now going to charge them cost plus 50 is really, it’s wrongheaded and it would be devastating to the security of our nation and to our allies.”
He is putting our country at risk.
Because of his love for Putin. Helsinki should have broken your love for Trump, but you're lost in the swamp.
He promised to make Mexico pay for the wall and also promised to get rid of the deficit
Cheney Challenges Pence At Private Retreat
“A chummy discussion between Vice President Pence and former vice president Richard B. Cheney quickly turned into a vigorous back-and-forth over President Trump’s foreign policy at a private gathering Saturday, with Cheney comparing the president’s instincts to those of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama,” according to a transcript obtained by the Washington Post.
“At the closed-door retreat hosted by the American Enterprise Institute on March 9 in Sea Island, Ga., Cheney respectfully but repeatedly and firmly pressed Pence on a number of the president’s foreign policy moves — over which Cheney expressed concerns — from taking a harder line toward U.S. allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to deciding to withdraw troops from Syria during what Cheney fretted was ‘the middle of a phone call.'”
