Description

I am proud to introduce the "America First" Budget.While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakersand the public with a view of the priorities of the President and his Administration.The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed tokeeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers.That is why you will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation'ssecurity. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched fartoo thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes, and other vehicles lastwell beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. Fromrebuilding our Armed Forces to beefing up our border security and safeguarding our Nation'ssovereignty, this Budget makes security priority one.It does so while meeting another of the President's core commitments: addressing our Nation'spriorities without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill.This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the deficit. It has been crafted much the sameway any American family creates its own budget while paying bills around their kitchentable; it makes hard choices.The President's commitment to fiscal responsibility is historic. Not since early in PresidentReagan's first term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inefficiency andwaste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested,every penny of taxpayer money watched over.Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. EachAmerican's share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of greatstakes, but one the American people can solve. American families make tough decisionsevery day about their own budgets; it is time Washington does the same.Mick Mulvaney
