On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, President Donald Trump will give his speech before Congress on Tuesday night and we already know a lot of what is going to be in his speech. It will include increases in defense spending, slashing aspects of domestic spending, slashing the EPA and the State Department bureaucracy. Here he is trying to do the right thing and he’s coming under attack from Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham for wanting to slash the State Department. We now have Republicans objecting to conservative elements of Trump’s budget. Barack Obama had Harry Reid’s support but when it comes to advancing a rational fiscal policy Trump won’t have anybody. Trump is proposing slashing of spending, yet it is hard to do that while simultaneously supporting a trillion dollars in infrastructure spending. After that, Republicans are near a make or break moment on the Obamacare repeal. Conservatives who want to repeal Obamacare are now criticized as jeopardizing so called moderate Republicans’ plans. Conservatives like Ted Cruz are opposing refundable tax credits which are subsidies. Cruz, Rand Paul and Mike Lee won’t back Obamacare lite. The left media is calling them hardliners – this is fake news. Finally, according to Juaquin Castro only illegals with violent crimes should be deported. Open borders radicals like him will never be satisfied. This phony politician wants a list of laws that would not qualify as deportable. For Castro, forging social security numbers and traffic tickets should not merit deportation. He and Washington want the scam of illegal immigration to go on and on. To add, Castro is considering running against Cruz in Texas. He doesn’t want to serve the people of Texas but the people who want to come into Texas from other countries. If Texas is gone the country is gone.
