I guessed you missed the fact that the Senate, House and Trump signed a 2-year budget deal adding $400 billion in spending. There won't be any substantive budget reductions forthcoming, particularly not the idiotic drivel in Trump's budget proposal. It's DOA. Period.

As for the $1.5 trillion tax cut, you cannot find a single reputable economist who supports it. All agree that it is exactly the wrong thing to do at this time. Corporate tax reform? Certainly. $1.5 trillion in unfinanced tax cuts? Completely idiotic at this point in the business cycle.
