"Unlike last year’s plan, the fiscal 2019 blueprint does not seek to balance the budget over the next decade. Combined with a newly passed spending deal and sweeping tax cuts, the budget would see the federal deficit once again rising past $1 trillion in the near-term."
At what point do we worry that the US economy is being treated like NJ Casino?

Whatever happened to the importance of a balanced budget, smaller government, and fiscal conservatism?

No such thing regardless who is in the White House. Dems are consistent with wanting to spend money on domestic programs and having taxes in place to pay for it. GOP are consistent with wanting to spend money on defense and private industry and cutting taxes while hoping someone will pay for it.

We need to dramatically improve our infrastructure. The other benefits with this is a military pay raise, opioid prevention, treatment and long-term recovery, and border security just to name a few. And it "would again spare Social Security retirement benefits and Medicare". So how can this be bad if the United States benefits from it?

That's just sacrificing long term economic problems for short term benefits. Our problem isn't a lack of income, it's overspending. MORE spending further increases the long term problem. Cuts are coming and the longer we wait, the worse they will be. You and I may not suffer from it, but our kids and grandkids will.

MAJ Bryan Zeski - During the Obama administration the national debt went from $10 trillion to just over $19 trillion in 8 years. That is $1.125 trillion per year on average. Under Trump's plan "the new budget sees accumulating deficits of $7.2 trillion over the coming decade." DECADE which is 10 YEARS and comes to about $720 billion per year. That is a SAVINGS of $405 billion per year or $4.05 Trillion in ten years. How can SAVING $4.05 trillion over ten years be a bad thing for our children and grandchildren?
