(Washington, DC) -- President Trump is seeking more than eight billion dollars for his massive border wall in the new budget blueprint that has been sent to Congress. The four-point-seven trillion dollar proposal makes deep cuts in domestic spending while continuing to boost the Pentagon's budget. Wall funding is a non-starter for Democrats who now run the House. The White House plan forecasts trillion dollar deficits for the next three years.
Presidential budget roadmaps usually go nowhere in Congress as lawmakers chart their own course on annual spending bills.
