i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade.
It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

Converting a Qatari-owned 747 jet into a new Air Force One for President Donald Trump would involve installing multiple top-secret systems, cost over $1 billion and take years to complete, three aviation experts told NBC News.
Turning Qatari 747 into Air Force One could cost $1 billion and take years, experts say
Taxpayers would likely foot the bill to retrofit President Trump's new jet, which could be more than twice the plane's $400 million value.

While Americans are told to limit their expectations and ration their dolls and pencils, Trump wants to buy himself a $400M luxury jet. He's spent close to $100M on his 3 day golf weekends and wants to spend another $100M for a vanity parade. It's good to King.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
