‘Big 4’ leaders to begin talks with White House on budget deal

, according to multiple sources familiar with the talks.

Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Acting Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will take the lead for the Trump administration in the negotiations, the sources added."It’s still too early to speculate on what the outcome of these discussions will be, but as deficit spending continues to drive up our national debt, the administration will continue to push for fiscal responsibility,” the official said.

Especially for McConnell — who faces a tough Senate map in 2020 — a deal to steer clear of another government shutdown this fall is critical. McConnell worked hard to avoid the partial government shutdown last December, only to see conservatives successfully lobby Trump to reject a stopgap bill that didn’t include funding for his border wall and trigger the 35-day crisis.

Dems, Repubs, it’s all a shell game that lines the pockets of those who are lining their pockets. Every person who watches 25% to 40% of their income go to taxes while we only go deeper in debt should refuse to elect anyone not fiscally conservative

What the actual f*ck?!?

Does it really matter, what Congress wants for a budget, under an administration, who will shift our taxes to his whimsical priorities like some Monarch? He denies funds to California and Puerto Rico, while helping farmers suffering under his Tarriffs War.

You liberals are hilarious! 😂 please keep going!

The only thing both sides can agree on is more spending. Fantastic

Everything politicians do is to keep the Federal Reserve alive because when it fails, and it will, they will be blamed and will lose there jobs.

Negotiating with fascists? That always ends well doesn't it. Not.

vote against them all!

oh for f's sake, SpeakerPelosi you're playing games with the enemy. ImpeachmentHearingsNOW

Catastrophic misreading of the public

Wtf are they doing

Expected.

I'm so confused. 😳

I'm fully disgusted with this 'strategy,' SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi SenSchumer. You are failing our democracy by not immediately beginning impeachment hearings. You will be remembered by history for cowardice, naivete, & handing our country over to Putin on a silver platter.

Everything takes a long time in Congress: lots of opinions to debate. Ldrs have to do several things at once, including abhor some colleagues & work with them, at the same time.

BoSnerdley Now's the time to get money for the wall and end illegal immigration.

Wtaf

What world are you living in. Start impeachment hearings. This is wishful thinking ivory tower governing.

Bottom line, no matter how you slice it we're fucked.

BoSnerdley Sometimes the answer is NO!

NO IMMIGRATION FIX NO BUDGET DEAL. No DEAL no SALARIES OR TAX PAID FLIGHTS until DONE.

got this huge progressive movement, biggest democratic win in history. and we have a minority leader and a majority leader that can't even get behind Medicare4All , until the leadership better represents the party, then they have learned nothing and is banking on lesser evils

Seriously...the budget won’t mean shit if we don’t have a democracy!!!! ImpeachmentHearingsNow SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer

Please cut spending. Please cut spending. Please cut spending. Please cut spending.

Just keep spending baby!!!! Clowns!!

That’s all they’re good at, spending other people’s money to benefit themselves.

SpeakerPelosi Evil wins when good people do nothing. McConnell will not let you pass anything. Barr taunts you to your face. What can you do? Start impeachment proceedings for Trump and Barr. Hold them accountable, show all voters their crimes. Show Democratic voters you care.

Stop with the negotiations!!!!

Stop giving money to the party and stop giving money to centrists

Oh look Congress stopped their political theatrical “fighting” to agree on something= More spending. 🙄

If this is what five dimensional chess looks like maybe the people leading the Democrats should stick to checkers. Mitch McConnell decided to fight everything Obama did before he took the oath. These morons are working with Trump after 2 1/2 years of him violating that oath

Do not believe anything the DEMS say!

Yea we need more spending :)

It's awesome when our Dem leaders can play nice with terrorists who our holding the country hostage. Every bad thing that is happening is because Dems think it's awesome sing Kumbaya with Terrorists instead of annihilating them. Im so sick of this.

Are we trying to spend our way out of debt?

Acting like it’s business as usual. I am absolutely disgusted by these people!!! They should all be primaried and voted out!

Thanks, Biden!

Why? Is the bloated, fraud and waste filled Pentagon whining?

Make place for a new clean generation without strong ties to the old. You incumbent folks have dirty hands. Revoke all corrupt (GOP aligned) appointees in every layer of government and their policies from the past decade. Oust them, strip them, prosecute them. Dracarys.

Strange we dont see similar bipartisan enthusiasm for discussions on term limits...

As if they’ll have any success while McConnell still walks face of the earth. Where did last $2trillion deal go? The grave yard.

Good. Time to get some work done!

Dumb & Dummer

REDUCE THE DAMN DEFICIT.

Amazing, the only thing the Dem & Rep always agree on is ever more debt on the American ppl, never spending & debt cuts which are better for the ppl

If anything is ever in the way of a politician spending or collecting money, that anything will be moved immediately

When will we be ready to talk about impeachment?

Robbers every last one of them

SpeakerPelosi Since when do we negotiate with terrorists? Start ImpeachmentHearingsNow Start calling out the traitorous GOP. You know the ones that are covering for the criminal cabal in the WH.

BoSnerdley Great, because that's exactly what America needs, more spending.

Cut the budget don’t raise it. How stupid

What don't they get? PASS IMMIGRATION REFORM!!SpeakerPelosi

Congress needs to lower spending! The reason this country is in debt bec congress has no idea how to run a country! They are spending money we dont have and will destroy our country! We might not feel it now but our kids and grandkids are going to be in big trouble!

OMG STOP SPENDING THIS COUNTRY INTO OBLIVION!!

These politicians Disgust me. Lets spend more money we don't have.

Wtf?

Here we go again. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.

jmalahy swamp.

How about all that money being spent on your sex scandals. We want names. And why haven't they resigned?

Their budgets need to be cut and term limits should be imposed.

How bout we pay down the national debt? Maybe a constitutional amendment to keep the government on a budget.

Fucking the taxpayer is the only thing upon which both sides agree.

That’s what Dems do, ruin their country.

They should spend all their time getting rid of Trump!

More spending?

There's no reason to lift budget caps. They're there for a reason.

The only deal Nancy needs to be concentrating on is bringing Articles of Impeachment against Delusional Donnie. Until she does I have no confidence & very little interest in anything else she might be doing. Once, she was the house of bricks, now she’s just the house of straw.

Keep spending more money, then complain about the Deficit... Tax revenue is INCREASING due to the Tax Cuts

It would be good to see cooperation across the aisle, as long as both sides win.

Great. Let's tackle entitlements at the same time since our economy is in such great shape and we're running a huge deficit. If not now, when?

Dems plead with Steve Bullock to abandon White House bid for SenateLike Beto O’Rourke, John Hickenlooper and Stacey Abrams, the Montana governor is rebuffing pressure to redraw the Senate map. As a Montanan, I believe he would have a difficult time beating the Republican candidate. I believe this run is posturing for a cabinet position. I hope he is negotiating to get more Demo Party support. If so he is smart as those guys are cheap as Hell. They should worry about letting the voters decide who they think the democratic presidential nominee should be. We don’t need another repeat of leadership picking the candidate and ignoring where ever the passion may fall. trump bernie

Ridiculous commentary. No one has to DENOUNCE anything or anyone to make others happy! Well Victor Orban is the most anti Semitic leader in Europe. And it was only yesterday trump claimed he didn’t like anti semetism? So trump likes anti semetism but only from certain people.
