Hypocrisy, Duplicity, or Insanity?

Last week the US Congress passed a budget deal that would increase spending by $300 billion dollars over 2 years. Coming after the tax cut plan, this will increase the deficit. At the same time the Trump White House has come up with a new "infrastructure" plan that will among other things allow states to charge tolls on interstate highways, further roll back environment regulations, and sell of the airport in Washington DC. Trump also want to spend $716 billion on defense. Trump and the GOP remain convinced that tax cuts and runaway military spending are the keys to prosperity. More likely, it will run this country right into the ground.
