Cut spending I signed: prez

Apparently suffering from signer’s remorse, President Trump now wants Congress to repeal some of the $1.3 trillion spending bill that he signed into law last month.

“We are looking at an enhanced rescission package,” new White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow (inset) said on “Fox News Sunday.”

The massive spending package beefed up domestic and military spending, but didn’t include the money that Trump wanted to build his wall on the Mexican border and a legislative fix to protect young undocumented immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arriv- als program (DACA).

The bipartisan deal was forged to keep the government funded through September.

Trump and Republicans got an earful from their base about adding billions to the $21 trillion national debt and not demanding border-wall funding.

Now the White House is working with Congress on new legislation to undo some of the spending.

“I think the Republican Party on the Hill has finally figured out it’s really not a bad idea to trim som some spending,” said Kudlow, who w replaced former economic adviser Gary Cohn last week. “Because after all, spending can c lead to deficits and spend spending interferes with the econom economy.”

“Presiden “President Trump is a deregulator and a tax cutter,” he continued. “W “We want a much more modest government role.” Tr Trump had initially th threatened on Twitte ter to veto the s spending bill.
