Opinion: Trump just unveiled his latest budget. It screams bad faith (via latimesopinion)

Imagine for a moment that two people running a business together have a dispute over where to invest their funds, so they strike a compromise and write it into their contract. For two years, they agree, a little more than half of the money will go toward plant and equipment, and the rest toward labor costs. A few months later, however, one of them says they’re borrowing too much, so he proposes to cut spending sharply — but just on labor.

Trump’s allies argue that the budget deal merely set caps on spending, but that’s a fantasy. Democrats and Republicans fight hard over the numbers because the two caps — one on defense and the other on non-defense programs — also effectively set floors.
