According to Mulvaney, it's being entirely paid for by a coal miner from West Virginia and a single mom from Detroit, with the money they'll have left over from not paying for the CPB.  Mexico will reimburse them on Flag Day as long as they return General Santa Anna's wooden leg - it's gonna be tremendous!

His budget includes $2.6 billion for his border wall. I thought Mexico was paying for that.

Mulvaney justifies budget: We can't ask a coal miner to pay for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting

As they fleshed out the budget blueprint released Thursday morning by the White House, Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney said officials from the administration of President Donald Trump asked themselves: Can we ask the taxpayer to pay for this?

For a dramatic uptick in military funding, Mulvaney said, the answer was yes. For a wide array of domestic programs, it turns out, the answer was no.

Trump’s budget, which Mulvaney said was assembled in part by examining excerpts from the president’s speeches and media interviews, delivers on his campaign promise to build up the military, designating an additional $54 billion in defense spending. The budget pays for that additional spending by cutting funding to nearly every other department, including 21 percent budget cuts at the departments of Labor and Agriculture, 28 percent at the State Department and 31 percent at the Environmental Protection Agency.

“When you start looking at places that we reduce spending, one of the questions we asked was can we really continue to ask a coal miner in West Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to pay for these programs? The answer was no,” Mulvaney said Thursday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “We can ask them to pay for defense, and we will, but we can’t ask them to continue to pay for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.”

Federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be cut entirely under Trump’s budget blueprint, which also reduces spending on the Coast Guard by 14 percent and FEMA by 11 percent...

Maddow played that one very poorly, but talking more about it is exactly what the GOP would hope for. Someone like Tucker Carlson will just do his sanctimonious "wait wait - I just want to know..." faux-curiousity until they turn the cameras off. His face is already frozen that way.

Does Rachel Maddow really work for Trump or is she just that stupid?? She seems pretty smart to me so what was that about cause she really helped Trump out and got seriously played.
