Fake News story # 200: This time it is about the budget

Vox:   The budget broadly resembles plans put forward by now-House Speaker Paul Ryan, who as the House Budget Committee chair released a series of extremely aggressive budgets including trillions in cuts to programs for the poor. While Trump largely leaves Medicare and old-age insurance from Social Security unscathed, and boosts funding for border security, veterans, and defense, he cuts just about everything else.

What’s more, his budget assumes an extremely unrealistic economic growth rate — 3 percent, above the currently projected 1.9 percent — due to the administration’s tax plan. It appears the administration is counting on that growth both to pay for its spending in this budget and to pay for its tax cuts, meaning the budget doesn’t really add up at all.

Editor's notes:    

"He cuts . . . . everything else:"   So how come his budget is billions of dollars more than the present budget?  He cut the rate of expansion.  Does anyone on the Left understand "expansion?"  Apparently not.  The fact of the matter is this:  virtually all of government will see an increase in dollars,  just not as much as they were hoping.  

Point two:   Yes it spends more than it takes in,  just like every budget since Clinton and all Democrat budgets before Clinton.  If jobs growth is as predicted,  however,  the budget will balance,  unlike the budgets of the past.  You do know that the Democrats don't even believe in a "balanced budget."  

Now you know more than before, and,  if a Vox reporter,  you are [now] more confused than before.
