About The Episode:
On this episode, Marc outlines what the first 100 days or so of Trump 47 could look like from a budget perspective. The activities are hugely complex and will require delicate political negotiations.
Key Takeaways:
Confirmations will dominate a great deal and most if not all of Trump’s picks should be approved.
Congress will have to pass a spending bill for FFY 2025 since the current continuing resolution expires on March 14. Will the overall budget approach be ready?
Congress also has to tackle the debt limit. Technically, the cap is back as of 1/1 and moving the cap will be imperative I the next several months.
Trump and a GOP Congress are likely to use one or two budget reconciliation bills to reduce spending and extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts. But moving them could be complex.
Trump’s proposal for major spending cuts via a Department of Government Efficiency commission has won endorsement by most Republicans, who want to collaborate.
Trump is expected to overturn a great deal of Biden’s regulatory environment.
Trump could pursue what he thinks is executive impoundment authority. Congress and courts may see it another way.
