Show Notes

President Trumps FY 2027 budget unveils a massive defense buildup, funded by cuts to domestic agencies, amid rising gas prices due to Iran war. The plan omits entitlements, lacks ten-year deficit projections, and faces criticism from both parties. Details on defense hike are unclear, with a pending war funding ask. Economic forecasts show inflation and growth shifts. Trump proposes taxpayer rebates, but Congress may block it. DOGE-led cuts have reduced federal staff by twelve percent, but permanence is uncertain. As midterms approach, this budget shapes the spending priorities debate.
