OMB Director Mick Mulvaney: This Is a ‘True America First Budget’

EXCERPT:

MULVANEY: "I want to talk for a few minutes about the budget blueprint that most of you know President started speaking about this morning with the governors. I’ll talk a little bit about what it is and what it isn’t and then talk about where we are in the budget process and what it looks like from here. First off, what this isn’t. It’s not a full-blown budget. That will not come until May, so you won’t see anything in here that has to do with mandatory spending, entitlement reforms, tax policies, revenue projections, or the infrastructure plan. This blueprint was never going to be that as I made clear during my Senate confirmation hearing. It is a top line number only. As for what it is, these are the President’s policies as reflected in top line discretionary spending. To that end it’s a true America first budget. It will show the President is keeping his promises and doing exactly what he said he was going to do when he ran for office."
