The Republicans and the Democrats forgot about the 'deficit' fifteen years ago and ever since when they chose to split off from the 'regular' budget all the trillions of dollars for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and then Yemen and Libya.

That money was just ignored.

If Trump actually puts all that military spending back into the actual money going out the door, that  would at least be more honest than what we are used to from the Congress.  

I'm betting he continues the 'double books' system that has worked so well to this point, though.
