“I recognize that there may well be some (a few? a lot?) of people who work here who aren’t happy that I’m working here. That’s fine,” Mr. Mulvaney wrote. “I also recognize that these folks might be interested in undermining my leadership here, or in quite simply looking to make me look bad.”

The federal deficit and the full flowering of GOP hypocrisy (The Mick Mulvaney edition)


Federal deficits projected to rise, surpassing $1 trillion in 2020.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 4/9/2018)
The deficit will hit $804 billion this year, a 21% increase over 2017, and will continue to grow through 2022 — hitting historically high levels and adding to the national debt.



Sabotage as seen in a widespread outbreak of Obama Derangement Syndrome.

Kill the messenger!  The man wants to hear what he wants to hear.


Quoted in Mick Mulvaney: The day of the CBO 'has probably come and gone'.  (Washington Examiner, 5/31/2017)

Mick has some reading to do.  

 Introduction to CBO. 

 As if it will make any difference to this former Freedom Caucus crazy.


Original 5/27 post, "Get me rewrite:  The Mick Mulvaney budget shows respect for the very rich, sez 'go fuck yourself' to everyone else", starts here.


Donald Trump’s budget ignores what is ailing American workers.  (The Economist, 5/24/2017)
Mick Mulvaney, a former congressman from South Carolina who won his seat in the Tea-Party wave of 2010, runs Donald Trump’s Office of Management and Budget. Mr Mulvaney has created the budget his wing of the Republican party always wanted: government as a service, paid for by its clients, the taxpayers. If you receive more than you pay, the system has failed, and must be fixed. The marketing copy that accompanied the budget calls this “respect for people who pay the bills”.

Donald Trump's budget proposal cuts after-school programs for Wisconsin's neediest children.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/28/2017)
Trump buys into Freedom Caucus goal to shrink government drastically, at the expense of America's most vulnerable.  Like thousands of other Wisconsin students, Daniel, 12, Shadenny, 10, and Damian, 8 attend a federally funded after-school program for academic support and other activities. Many also provide snacks or dinner and serve as childcare for working parents.

Meet 'the crazies', the members of the U.S. House of Representatives' Freedom Caucus: Mick Mulvaney (R-SC)


The 27th in a series.
“I think it signals the crazies have taken over the party, taken over to the party that you can remove a speaker of the House who’s second in line to be president, a constitutional officer in the middle of his term with no allegations of impropriety, a person who’s honest and doing his job."
Rep. Peter King (R-NY)

Trey Gowdy, Mulvaney's SC colleague, isn't listed among members of the Freedom Caucus, but he should be.
