 "Mulvaney: The federal budget released today puts taxpayers first"

The article I read was about Trump's new 2018 fiscal budget. This budget is said to have two main points. The first is that the government should work for the people. The second is that our government should be more accountable to the people that are helping to fund it. This new budget is called "A New Foundation for American Greatness." Trumps goal in this is to have a "taxpayer first" budget. This budget is aimed to be most appealing to those who work hard and pay taxes. Trump wants to help allow people to spend more time with their families ,and for people to be able to earn the money they deserve in return for all their hard work. 

In ap gov we have talked about the word fiscal and how it relates to money and taxes. We have also talked about the powers of the president. This power of creating the budget is very important to the people. How a president choses to spend/use the money is something crucial to our country.

After reading this article I have a better understanding on what President Trump wants for the future of our country. I like his plan for the budget because I think he is really trying to allow people to be able to earn what they work for. I think many other people will be fond of this budget as well.
