Show Notes
President Trumps latest budget proposal calls for a massive $1.5 trillion defense spending increase, the largest single-year boost since WWII. This includes $1.1 trillion for the Defense Department and $350 billion for the Iran war. However, hes pushing for deep cuts to domestic programs, including $65.8 billion for shipbuilding, a 13% increase for the Justice Department, and $10 billion for D.C. upgrades. The budget also targets renewables and clean air programs, shifting funds to fossil fuels and energy-intensive AI supercomputers. Trumps allies in Congress face tough decisions as voters react to the cuts, setting up big fights before the November midterms. Hes also hyping a fraud crackdown that could potentially balance the budget, promising fireworks in Congress.
