The House Budget Committee has only allocated 4 1/2 trillion dollars for all the tax cuts.

This is almost a trillion dollars worth of tax cuts. This is an empty promise. Can't happen, won't happen..

President Trump also slammed USA to Ukraine during his address to Congress .

Rattner: We've spent perhaps $350 billion , like taking candy from a baby. And they've spent $100 billion . That's what happened. And the next day the Trump administration paused Intel sharing with Ukraine . And what's happened since Russia has only increased its bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
