'BradCast' 5/23/2017: (Guest: Former White House economic adviser Seth Hanlon)
b"First up: late updates on the Manchester Bombing and FBI investigation of Team Trump. Then: As Trump continues his overseas trip, his Administration released their Budget Policy plan in full, including some $1 trillion in cuts to social programs, massive increases in defense spending, and what they describe as deficit reduction measures over the next 10 years. The plan would deeply slash programs from Medicaid to Social Security Disability Insurance to food stamps to financial student aid to agricultural subsidies relied upon by an enormous number of Trump voters. But aside from those cruel cuts, former Obama Administration tax policy adviser Seth Hanlon explains, the budget includes a huge, $2 trillion accounting error. Actually, Hanlon describes it as '[Bernie] Madoff-level accounting fraud...designed to fleece vulnerable people'. Others, including conservative budget experts, also describe the gimmick Team Trump used as fraudulent, in that it counts the same claims for increased revenues from tax cuts twice -- once to pay for the tax cuts themselves, and again to the shortfalls in the Trump budget. He joins us to explain what he also calls a '$7.5 trillion lie' today. Finally, Desi Doyen joins us for the latest 'Green News Report' with details on the 'slash and burn' environmental aspects of the budget plan and for some good news out of Switzerland. (We'll take it!)"
