Budget expert: Ignore Trump's cuts, and national debt skyrockets

‘What they really want is to blame the president for their credit-card abuse’

An expert on government budgets, Robert Romano of Americans for Limited Government, warns that Congress risks the nation’s future if it ignores President Trump’s proposed budget, which cuts $4 trillion in proposed spending.

In a column on his organization’s website, Romano explained that Trump’s proposes cutting $4.4 trillion in spending over the next decade, forecasting a balanced budget in 15 years.

“With Congress, when it comes to the debt, the sky’s the limit. Meaning, President Trump’s budget with its modest $4.4 trillion of cuts over 10 years is the only game in town,” he wrote. “It may not balance the budget immediately, but at least there’s a horizon, and that’s more than Congress can say.”
