Dana Milbank mocks the Trump budget proposal as a comic book caper that would balloon the national debt by seven trillion over a decade while promising far-reaching, unrealizable perks. He notes cuts to Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, and offsets funded by selling assets and cutting enforcement. The piece concludes that the plan has as much chance of becoming law as the Trump budget itself.
