9.) Bottom Line

The Trump budget shows promising signs that the government is looking to put its fiscal house in order, but isn’t there yet. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D- N.Y.) has the votes to block any serious changes to the federal budget, meaning he can threaten a shutdown any time a budget goes to the Senate. Without 60 fiscally responsible senators, no spending cuts will happen, and he can maintain the high baseline of Obama era spending. President Trump has the power to make the case for a responsible federal budget, and currently has the votes in the House to pass it. As long as there are 49 Democrats in the Senate, fiscal reforms remain a distant prospect.
