It's a killer for trump and I would bet all the pub's up for re-election in 2020 will have pretty hard time getting behind that hideous budget. It's pretty clear that trump hasn't learned a single thing about politics, which is really no surprise.

It also reduces the number of repayment plans for borrowers and scratches the popular, if challenged, public service loan forgiveness program. continues at cnbc.com
