Trump can't add things up
The Trump budget appears to count the same US$2 trillion twice, and the spending cuts are ridiculous.
WE'RE now getting a feel for what it was like to work in a business run by Donald Trump.
His budget is out, and it predicts we will have super-duper, excellent, great - no, huge - economic growth based on monster tax cuts for the rich and cuts in spending that will leave the poor with no money to buy anything.
It was produced in concert with that great healthcare Bill, which the Congressional Budget Office now estimates would cost 23 million Americans their insurance coverage over the next 10 years. On the plus side, in 10 years, Mr Trump will definitely not be president. Unless there's a coup.
