Federal Times: WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s proposed military parade could cost as much as $30 million, White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Wednesday.
The parade could cost between $10 million and $30 million, depending on its length, Mulvaney told the House Budget Committee. That cost is not reflected in Trump’s proposed 2019 budget that was presented Monday, Mulvaney said, “because it’s come up at the last minute.”
Mulvaney’s comments were part of a testy exchange with California Democratic Rep. Barbara Lee, who railed against the budget’s deep cuts to social programs.
The proposed budget requests $686 billion for the military and reflects Congress’s recent bipartisan budget deal.
