Is This True?

According to The Hill, the new Trump administration has a plan to cut ten trillion dollars from the federal budget over the next decade.  Is that true, or is it just another of those articles in the mainstream media containing fake news?  I don't know.  We will need to wait and see.

There's so much misinformation that is being thrown about in the media regarding the plans of President Elect Trump, that it is getting annoying.  For example, there are stories telling us that there is no replacement plan for Obamacare, but there are other stories that detail plans or portions of plans that contradict each other.  Trump is either immediately building the wall on the Mexican border or abandoning the project (you decide based upon which article you read.)  So much is like that.

I am truly looking forward to the new administration actually being able to announce policy plans.  The misinformation from the media is just getting to be too much.

Now before I get emails complaining that I say there is misinformation in the MSM, just remember this:  about a week after the election, there were a series of stories in the media about how much chaos was present in the Trump transition effort.  We were told by the self proclaimed experts that Trump would never be ready by the Inauguration.  They were not only wrong, they weren't even close to being correct.  The transition went forward in a steady and productive manner.  A great many fine candidates for various offices have been nominated and are about to be confirmed despite the best efforts of the Democrats to undermine them.  In other words, the media fantasy condemning Trump is giving way to the actual reality in which Trump succeeds.
