Those greedy bastards................oh. Never mind.

So they aren’t going to spend the rest on hookers and blow?
Well... This feel weird. Almost like people that actually know how to handle money.
Who would have thunk?
Big Media will be desperate to use the word “unexpected” again, now in a derogatory manner, rather than with the breathless awe they needed to use when defending their god’s failed policies the past eight years.
A good example. Sadly a drop in the bucket of the financial hole we are in, but a good example none the less.
One of the “rules” that has been out there for decades was, no matter what the agency or actual need, never return unused budget, as next fiscal year you would get less. This has led to huge waste (buy supplies that were not needed, etc), and points out a real problem with our budget process.
I’m sure Hillary would have done the same. /s
Too much winning it hurts. Need pain killers. Aspirin not strong enough.
Wait! You might need that to replace missing furniture.
“...as Trump puts the Obama administration to shame showing them how to actually manage a budget.”
MANAGE a budget? 0bama & Crew didn’t even PASS a budget until 2015! Seven YEARS after it was due.
With no repercussions. Well, except to We The People...but that was by design. ;)
MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN by being UNDER BUDGET, AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!
This seems almost surreal. Returning unused funds to the Treasury.
Has this ever happened before? I doubt it.
Govt agencies and depts typically go on a spending spree at the end of a budget year to make sure they spend every last penny.
Unfortunately, we won’t hear anything about it on the MSM. I’ll bet Lou Dobbs & Hannity mention it, but that’s about all.
The Trump Doctrine:
“Ahead of schedule, under budget”
The Trump Philosophy:
“Winners aren’t losers”
but... but... the left says Trump is only doing this in enrich himself further!
this doesn’t make sense...
well... not if you are a lefty !
This return of money is indicative of a style where they know there's not an endless supply of money, especially in a private venture, and that extra money that appears out of a budget can be diverted to more productive uses.
How come you posted your blog stuff in the news section?
“...Trump puts the Obama administration to shame showing them to actually manage a budget...”
Agreed, but I think he’s going to show the entire D.C. establishment how to manage a budget, which is why both sides of the isle, the entire bureaucracy and the MSM are losing their minds. They have been living high on the hog at our expense for decades and Trump is going to stop that as of Monday morning.
Business as usual is about to end in D.C. There’s a new sheriff in town.
Go Trump! MAGA!
But I'm not nearly tired of it yet. Keep going.
I hope to grow so tired of this ‘winning’.. (It’s gonna take a lot more though)
