Trump Expected To Submit Budget Blueprint On March 13
By ANDREW TAYLOR – Associated Press – 7 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Capitol Hill Republicans said Wednesday that the White House is planning to submit President Donald Trump’s budget plan to Congress in mid-March.
GOP aides say the plan is due on March 14. They’re expecting Trump’s blueprint to contain fewer details than is typical since it’s a new administration and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney was only confirmed last week.
The budget submission would include Trump’s recommendations on reforming the tax code, cutting agency budgets, and is likely to set off a lengthy and difficult debate, in part because it’s sure to project sizable deficits inherited from former President Barack Obama.
Will be interesting to read. I do agree that it probably will not be as comprehensive as it could or should be.
Oo La La:
RIS (AP) — If Marine Le Pen has her way, the French will soon pay for their baguettes with francs, not euros.
The presidential candidate from the anti-EU, anti-immigration National Front party is all about national sovereignty and independence. She wants France to take control of its money, subject to a referendum that would lead France out of the European Union and its shared currency.
But how would France pull off a euro exit, or “Frexit”?
No country has left the euro since its creation in 1999. A number of economists paint dire scenarios in which the departure of one of the euro’s 19 countries unleashes chaos: market plunges, controls on money transfers, customs officers stopping people carrying suitcases of cash out of the country, a plague of defaults and lawsuits on bonds and contracts.
The euro was designed to be irrevocable. It’s the “Hotel California” principle, as in the Eagles’ song: you may wish to “check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”
Le Pen is leading polls for the first round of voting April 23; most polls and prognosticators see her losing the second round on May 7. But after the British vote last year to leave the 28-member European Union, and after Donald Trump’s election as U.S. President, fewer people are taking a Le Pen defeat for granted.
Wouldn’t that raise some eyebrows?
And what if the National Socialists defeat Merkel and take over Germania again?
ASM is like an ATM machine. I took profits again this week. 30% gross this time.
Nice Jason. I remain a happy investor of Avino Silver & Gold and look forward to hearing Chris Temple’s wrap up of his trip to Mexico on this weekend’s show.
