I also am concerned about our deficit.
Thus far, there has been very little attention paid to that, except for a few comments by Ryan.
It becomes more real when we hear about commitment to using American steel and making that a legislative mandate..that will increase the cost of the pipeline into another strosphere. Our continuing bickering with Mexico and threatened tariffs will also be passed on to us.
Unless they do something soon, I see inflation and increase in country's debt, and a big one.
There is still time and there has been no dupiscussion, so hold out hope once we might hear specifics. Add to your premise, tax cuts and I sure hope the current actions do not suggest an increase in terrorism. It will, just naturally, give groups like ISIS a recruiting tool, and if we incur more costs to protect ourselves....
The philosophy behind Trump's words are nice to hear, and I sure hope he can pull some of it off.
Once he can get past the election, we may hear news on our budget.
