I Wonder How Deep Our Federal Agencies Will Get Cut.

We know that DOD, Homeland Security, border control and the FBI will probably get big increases. Now for the rest of the agencies I would imagine many federal workers face privatization or layoffs. We know the GOP wants to make them all temporary workers. The new budget should be a doozy.

And I wonder if Trump will support raising the national debt limit or try to get a discount.

This one, you likely got right.
