This is a good one, said Trump when he signed the document.

The nearly 1,000 pages thick budget proposal, which Congress approved on Thursday after a dramatic and prolonged process, has aroused strong feelings in the USA. It advocates that the tax cuts for mainly high-income earners, which Trump introduced during his previous term, become permanent. The budget also includes major investments in defense, efforts against illegal migration and strengthened border security.

To finance this, drastic cuts are made in the state health insurance Medicaid for low-income earners as well as the program for state food coupons. And predecessor Joe Biden's climate regulations are torn up, including the support for the electric car market.

According to the independent Congressional Budget Office, the budget will increase the already high national debt by staggering 3,300 billion dollars.
